|SIMPLE ICON

STEP 1
|Open PicsArt and click on draw. Customize the size to 600 x 600 (it can be smaller or large but otherwise it's a little blurry). Immediately create a new layer to work on. Make sure you create a new layer for every step.

STEP 2
|Next click on the shapes tool to make a circle (remember to fill it). Also it's important to make the circle black.

STEP 3
|Choose a background you like. I'm using a Chevron pattern that's gold and black since I want it bright. You can use other colors too. Or any pattern.

STEP 4
|Once you're placed your background go to layers < blend < add. This will make only a circle appear of your background.

STEP 5
|Next find a PNG of the character or person or object you want and place it wherever you like.

STEP 6
|And that's it you're done. Once you place it as your profile picture only the circle part will be shown. Everything else will be cut off.

FINAL
| It will look something like this once you save it.

And like this once it's an icon.

Hey guys! Quick update. I'm currently really busy with school stuff now and I know I'm not really updating or being that active but I do try to find time sometimes to update. This might be the only book that I'll update mostly.. Sorry about it but I need to focus more on my studies now.
Other than that.. HAPPY DIWALI to all the Indians out there! Have a blast (pun intended) also stay safe from the fireworks.
