A good template needs a front, side, and back view of the character. Each view
needs to fit exactly over the others, so I like to use Painter's Tracing Paper function
with the Clone function to help me build the other views.
1. First, select Clone from the File menu to create a clone image of the front
view.
2. Minimize the original front view. Click on the clone image to activate it.
3. Next, choose All from the Select menu.
4. Now go to the Edit menu and select Clear. This will remove the front view
image from the clone picture.
5. The little icon in the upper-right corner of the image window, directly below
the close button, is the Tracing Paper switch. Click on it. The front-view
drawing will be ghosted in below the drawing surface.
I use the Tracing Paper image to guide me in drawing the back view. Figure 6.2
shows the back view drawn over the front view.
Figure 6.2 The back view is drawn over the front view.
When the back view is ready, the Tracing Paper button can be switched off, as
shown in Figure 6.3.
