Ok we are ready to start.
This is a long tutorial so make sure you have a drink handy to keep you going.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1:
We will be be making the girl shown above. The outlines below have been resized a lot so you can see them clearly.
I have done the outline in 2 parts, we will be starting with the top half of the girl.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
The image is symmetrical so I have placed the numbers so you can see them more clearly, remember it is the same on each side.
Open a new image 120 x 120 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 outline colour chart (#CA8368) and start at the top center of your canvas.
Start by drawing her head.
Step 2:
When you get to her shirt change your foreground to colour 3 on the outline colour chart (#E4E5E6) or a colour of your choice and draw in the shirt outline shown in outline above.
When you get to her dress change your foreground to colour 5 on the outline colour chart (#536E81) or a colour of your choice and draw in the dress outline shown in outline above.
Remember to add the black buttons shown in the outline.
When you get to her arms change your foreground back to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#CA8368) and draw in the arms outline shown in outline above.
NOTE: The parts shown in pink are the parts you have already drawn from the first outline.
Keep your foreground to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#CA8368) and draw in the rest of the arms.
When you get to her dress change your foreground to colour 5 on the outline colour chart (#536E81) or a colour of your choice and draw in the dress outline shown in outline above.
When you get to her petticoat change your foreground to colour 3 on the outline colour chart (#E4E5E6) or a colour of your choice and draw in the petticoat outline shown in outline above.
Stay on that colour and draw in her socks as shown on the outline above.
Change your foreground back to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#CA8368) and draw in the bits of her legs that are showing.

Step 7: Face
You will need the Following Colour Chart.
Left click and when it opens right click then save as, then open in PSP.
Add a new raster layer so we can draw her face.
This is what it will look like when done.
For her eyebrows and nose use colour 1 (#CA8368) on your colour chart.
For the eyelashes use colour 5 (#000000) on your colour chart.
For the eye colour use two colours of your choice. I used colour 7 (#6190E3) and colour 8 (#3A5693) on your colour chart.
Add one white (#FFFFFF) pixel in each corner of the eyes.
For the bottom lip use colour 2 (#D36C7F) on your colour chart.
For the top lip use colour 3 (#E4909E) on your colour chart.
Change to colour 4 (#EAA9B4) on your colour chart and add one pixel underneath the bottom lip in the center.
Add a new raster layer.
Select your paint brush and colour 3 (#E4909E) on your colour chart.
Change the paintbrush size to 5 - shape round.
Click once on the face so you end up with the image shown below.
Go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur - 3.
Move this layer below the face layer. Duplicate and mirror.
Merge all visible.
Step 8:
Open up the Hair tube and choose the colour you want. Copy and paste it as a new layer on your girl.
Move this layer to the top and position.
If you are feeling brave you could always draw your own hair for her.
