"Now let's add another planet to our space solar system here. We're going to add just kind of like a rock planet almost like a moon, a desolate planet with nothing going on. So let's go ahead and start here, now as with most of our other planets we're just going to go ahead and let's go ahead and create a new layer here. Let's create our, or actually, yeah we'll just create a new layer here and we'll call this, we'll call this "rock planet". There we go, now what we're going to do is we're just going to do as we've done before. We'll just take our marquee tool and we'll draw in a planet. We're going to make this one rather big, it doesn't really matter how big we make it. We can always resize it later. We're going to start here with our rock planet, so now what we're going to do is we're just going to go ahead and, let's go ahead and fill this with some black so if we hit, actually if we just hit Command, Delete it'll fill it black for us. Now as you can see it's below our planet one, let's bring it to the top here because it's not going to help us being down there like that and there we go. It's over the top of everything else so now we got a good chance to see it, so now let's, you know what we're going to do? Let's, let's add some color to it, let's go ahead and get us a brush going let's get us a nice color here let's. Actually, you know what, let's pause here and we'll pick this up in the next part."
