Cartoon icon tutorial

Okay, so here's how to make a cartoon icon of yourself, with your own features, clothing, hair etc. If you have photo shop you can use that, if you don't you can download paint.net from the internet.

Step 1: Google "tumblr cartoon icons" and pick one you like.
Step 2: Open it into your editing program:

Step 3: add a layer.














 Step 4: Trace around the main features with black paintbrush (If you want your own unique hair, don't trace the hair)








Step 5: Add clothing and colour in with colours you want. My example is very basic.











Step 6: Now is my favourite part: THE HAIR! You can do it how ever you want, this is my example.

    

 Step 7: Pick some skin colour and hair colour that matches your own, and you're done your cartoon!!

Step 8: Now make the background white and use paintbrush and write your name. THEN YOU'RE DONE!

 

You can use this for anything you want! Facebook, msn, skype, google. 

I hope you liked my tutorial.
