On layer 4 (Merged layer), the golfer looks like he has already hit the ball. For this frame, let's place the golf ball as if it is flying toward the viewer.
Hide visibility for all layers except golfer on MERGED layer.
Copy and paste the golf ball that was downloaded in the zip file onto this MERGED layer. Optionally, you could draw a plain circle for the golf ball or use a tube image. Position the ball near center of image as shown above.
Other options:
Say Hi. You can place a little message on the ball if you like. I decided to say 'Hi' on my golf ball. You could add something different, maybe your name or initials, or some computer shorthand like TTYL or BBFN.
Add sig. To add a sig to the green, use the 'duplicate/merge visible'' method we used in previous step to add a golf ball to the green. If you add your sig or a message, make sure your text is placed in the EXACT same location on EVERY layer. If it is just 1 pixel off alignment, it will bounce and jump around. Not good! Use the Zoom tool and look very, very close at your alignment with layer beneath it.
Look at you. You could also make the golfer on the last 3 layers look straight at the viewer after he hits the ball. Zoom in very close and use the off-white eyeball color to paint out the black pupils. Then use a small black elongated ellipse to draw a new pupil that is looking straight ahead, toward you. Copy this ellipse shape and paste it in all eyes on the top 3 layers.
Looks like we're ready to import the file into Animation Shop and get this guy moving!
