» We are now going to create the outline of your emoticon in black (#000000). You can do it differently if you want to.

» Next we are going to shade in your emoticon. Choose any colour you would like your emoticon to be; I have used grey (#D0D0D0). Start off by going round the outside below the black outline.

» Choose a lighter shade of the colour you used in the previous step and go round the outside below the other colours. I have used #DDDDDD.

» Do the same with a lighter shade of the colour you used in the previous step. I have used #EAEAEA.

» Your emoticon now needs eyes and a mouth. In black (#000000) put these in. You can also change the black outline to match your other colours if you wish. Make sure it is darker than your other colours if you do. I have used #B9B9B9.

» To make your emoticon stand out, you can outline it in white. To do this copy your emotion, open up a new image sized big enough and press control and E to paste it as a selection. Then go to Selections >> Modify >> Expand and put 1 in the box. Select the Flood Fill tool () and fill in the selection in white (#FFFFFF).
» You can create different shaped emoticons like squares and rectangles by using the same method.
