Step 1:
We will be be making the baby that the Grandma is holding at the top of the page. The outline below has been resized a lot so you can see it clearly. 
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
Open a new image 200 x 200 transparent. 
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size: 1 - Hardness, Opacity and Density: 100 
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000% 
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the colour chart (#CD8B71) and start by drawing the babies head onto your canvas.
You can use your mover tool to move it later if you need to.
Once the head is done use the colours on the colour chart to continue the outline.

The eye is colour 5 (#7195F4)on the colour chart.
The lips are colour 3 (#F77074) on the colour chart.
The babygro outline is either colour 3 (#F77074) or colour 5 (#7195F4) on the colour chart depending on if you want it pink or blue.

Step 2: Fills
When all the outline is complete we can add the fills.
Select your magic wand with the following settings and click inside the head.
