Photo Fill-In Using PicMonkey & Paint

**Note: PicMonkey is no longer free like it was when I wrote this post, but I honestly think it’s still worth paying for because it gives you so many design and editing options in an easy-to-use format. That said, if you’d like to sign up then feel free to do so through this link because PicMonkey gives me a bit if you do. :)**

Hey guys! Today I have a tutorial for you. 🙂

To make this you will need two programs: Paint, and PicMonkey.

This is what your thing will look like, with customized outline and photo fill. 😉

Ready? 😀

1. Go to Bing (well, I guess you could use Google…) and type in ‘____ outline’. For this tutorial I typed in ‘bunny outline’. 🙂 Choose a good outline, one that looks like the one below. It doesn’t have to be transparent, (that’s the checkerboard behind it) but it works a little better usually. The rabbit image was from this site.
2. Save the picture to your computer and then open the Paint app.
3. Click file, then click open, and select the image you just saved.
4. Select the paint bucket tool.
5. Fill the outside part with black. Yes, it has to be black. Save your photo and then go PicMonkey.com. Click ‘Edit’ and open your photo.
6. Once your photo pops up, click the little overlay icon which looks like a butterfly. 
7. Click ‘Your Own’ and select the photo you want to use to fill it. 
8. Make the photo big enough so that it covers the whole rabbit (or whatever you are using).
9. See the little box that says Overlays? Click on the word Normal. When the box drops down, click ‘Darken’.
10. Ta-da! Now all you have to do is save it!

These are really fun to make and they look so neat! 🙂
