So you want to try your hand at making your own little dolls like everyone else on the internet is making -- but just can't figure it out?  Here's a tutorial to help you out!  Be prepared though, this does take patience!  

Trust me on this one, you'll need to do everything in order, so don't skip steps.  You'll want to bookmark this page so that you can easily return to it when you've completed steps, or when you need to refer to what to do next.

Tools Needed

First off, you can't start a project without the proper tools.  To do this, you'll need two things:

1. Palace Chat Software
   Just click on the link and download the software.  It's free to download and register.  Install it on your hard drive before continuing.
2. Paint Shop Pro
   This is probably the *best* piece of graphics software for the web (ok so that's opinion, but I've used many programs such as Adobe and Corel, and this is the best).  Anyways, from the website, you can download a free 30-day trial version.  After that you'll have to register the software (it's rather expensive at a cost of $99, but worth it).  But at least you'll have 30 days free!  So make lots of dolls in that time.

After downloading and installing both programs to your hard drive, click the forward arrow below to continue.
