Preparation

Hints & Tips
TIP 1 -> if you don’t want to install a font -->
open it in a software as « Nexus Font » (or other font viewer software of you choice)
as long as this software’s window is opened, your font will be available in your PSP
TIP 2 -> from PSPX4, in the later versions of PSP the functions « Mirror » and « Flip » have been replaced by -->
« Mirror » --> image -> mirror -> mirror horizontal
« Flip » --> image -> mirror -> mirror vertical

Colors
color 1 --> foreground color --> FG --> #5c0c07
color 2 --> background color --> BG --> #ffc1b4
color 3 -> #fefefe

Be careful, color 3 is not White
don’t hesitate to change colors, blend modes and opacities of the layers to match your tubes
prepare colors 1 &2 into the materials palette
