To create a character, press the little paper with the Plus sign on it to make a new layer. Now press the number "0" on your keyboard.
This little "canvas" will open. This is where you get all of the items to customize your own Maplestory character!
To start making a body, go to Character Items>Body Items>Body. You can mix two body colors together! But I would recommend staying with one color.
To get eyes, go to Face Styles. Checkmarking one of those boxes (bottom left) can help make searching easier. Now, when you choose an eye, you have to choose an eye color for it. I chose white.
Alright, I guess the rest is pretty self-explanatory.
If not:
Hair Styles (under Body Items)- Choose Hair
Accessories- Choose face, ear, or eye accessories
Equipment- Choose clothing
