How to create your emoji artwork

Start with one character and one emotion, then check the image at the size you plan to use.

  1. A celebrating coral peach with smiling eyes, an open smile and raised arms. Add one green leaf, a bold dark outline and simple shading on a pale cream background. Keep one centered character, without lettering.

    Describe one expression

    Name the character, emotion, colors and background. Add a reference image if you want to guide the design.
