Open Paint Shop Pro.  We will first draw the outline. Open a transparent image in PSP 100x150. Zoom in several times. Then draw the outline in black using your paintbrush, size 1. Both sides are identical, so draw the left side then click on the layer in your layer palette, choose duplicate and then Image >Mirror. You have 2 identical copies, position properly and then  go to Layers and merge visible.

Let's shade it in. I used 4 different shades for the skin, 4 shades for the clothes from black to light grey. And for the hair, 4.  For the buckles, 2 colours. Use the Palette Maker to create your different colours! Then colour as below

 



for the shoes, I added a new layer and then drew two white pixels. Apply a gaussian blur and merge visible.

and that's it! Save as a PSP file, you may want to recolour it at a later date using the method outline in Part 1 of this tutorial.
To save as a gif, open your PSP file - with all layers merged visible - in Animation Shop and save using the settings on this page: Transparence
