Activate layer 'Color' and repeat the fill with gold or silver.
Place the head over the body.

Next step depends on if you make your own face or not.
If you find this difficult:

You want to draw a face yourself??? Great way to practice PSP. Like this:
For the mouth I did use the shape 'Nut'.
Click the plus and use color #800000.
For the edge I used #400000 .
Use 'Ellipse' for the eyes.
Foreground color black > line size 3 >
Retain style unchecked.
I did remove half of the ellipse with
selection tool set on rectangle.
The lashes are made with shape Starburst 1 .
I did cut them out, using selection tool circle (see screenshot).
Invert your selection.
Later on with selection tool on rectangle,
I did remove half of the shape. See the red area on the screen.
Attention......

Open MD-Angelbow.psp (silver or gold) and copy.
