Pixel Stocking

Here is an easy pixel stocking.

#1 Open a NEW image 100X100. ZOOM in to about 400% or 500%, which ever is easier
for you to be able to see the pixels as you place them on your canvas.

#2 Click on your Paintbrush Tool, use size 1. I will be making a red stocking,
set your foreground color to #760806, and your background color to #9c211e.
Follow the outline below and outline the STOCKING part using the dark red.

#3 With the Magic Wand, Tolerance 0, BOTH Contiuous and Anti-alias CHECKED, click
inside the stocking area. Flood Fill with the background red. KEEP selected.

#4 Add a NEW Raster layer. Click on the AIRBRUSH Tool and using the settings below.
Using the foreground color, brush around the edge of the stocking.

#5 Adjust/Blur/Guassian Blur with Radius 2. Select None.

#6 You should have two layers; the red stocking and the blur; if you are using a
background color (so that you can see your outline), HIDE that layer. Merge/Merge Visible.

#7 Change your foreground color to grey #a0a0a0 and your background color to WHITE.
With your paintbrush still at size 1, outline the CUFF with the grey.

#8 With the Magic Wand, click inside the CUFF and Flood Fill with White.
Selections/Float. Effects/3D/Cutout and use the settings below.

#9 Select NONE. This is what you should have now.

#10 Now you can Export as a tube so that you will have it for later use.
