Dear Tutorial fans

 It has come to my attention  that blogger has changed  their  guidelines  without  informing  me. I had this blog since  2011 or probably  earlier.  They have unpublished  many of my older work. Tags made in 2014 in Which they are holding me accountable  for works  of art as obsense and or offensive.  I have unpublished  all tutorials  to review them and move to another  platform. Stay tuned for a new link for the tutorials.  I am sorry for the inconvenience.  And I am saddened  by the accusations  due to the new polices of this  that were  changed unbeknownst  to me.

Under this layer make a slim rectangle on the left and copy/paste paper of choice. I used paper2

Repeat on the right side but bigger and use another paper. I used paper 1 ( even though the tube pretty much covered the paper)

Add your tube to the rectangle on the right SELECTIONS, SELECT ALL,INVERT then used your erase tool to remove the sharp edge on the left or which ever side you want to have your tube look like she is coming from behind.

Duplicate the rectangle on the right and apply EFFECTS 3D EFFECTS CUTOUT:

Move this layer above your tube layer then erase the top edge covering the tube face.
