Let's make this cute kitten playing with yarn :)

Open a transparant image 200 x 100 that way you'll have plenty of room to move around :)

Set your foregroundcolor to #787878 (= cat outline)
Set your backgroundcolor to #0067FF (= yarn outline)

Draw the outline, see screenshots below.

Select the body of your cat with your magic wand. You'll notice everything will be selected except the inner tigh leave it this way we'll put a darker shade there :)

Floodfill your cat with #FFFFFF or a color of your choice. Invert your selection and apply a dropshadow. Shadowcolor = #000000
Offset V & H = 0
Opacity = 50
Blur = 12
Deselect.

Floodfill your cat's inner tigh with #FFFFFF or a color of your choice. Invert your selection and apply a dropshadow. Shadowcolor = #000000
Offset V = -1 & H = 1
Opacity = 50
Blur = 15
Deselect.

Select the inside of the yarn and floodfill it with #BED7FC or a color of your choice. Invert your selection and apply a dropshadow. Shadowcolor = #0067FF
Offset V = -1 & H = 1
Opacity = 50
Blur = 5
Deselect.

Save your picture and you're finished !

I hope you had fun doing this tutorial.
