Pixel Seal by MOE

1.  Open a transparent canvas of 70 x 100 pixels.  Fill with white and create a second raster layer.  This is the layer that we will be drawing on so make sure it is the active layer by clicking on it.

2.  Pick your paintbrush tool, set at size one and draw the outline by following the picture.  These are the colors that I used but feel free to choose your own:
Ball: #FF873F    Seal: #606060    Stand: #78ABDA    Eye: #000000

3.  Pick your flood fill tool and making sure that the 'sample merged' box is checked and full in your outline.  These are the colors that I used but feel free to choose your own.
Ball: #FFC37B
Seal: #D0D0D0
Stand: #B4E7FF
