From YPPedia

For this tutorial, you will need:

Step 1: Creating the Outline

Create a new image, 150px by 150px. Then go to Layer > Add New Layer to get a layer with a transparent background.

Draw the outline using the paint brush tool, the curve line tool and the circle tool, all on 1px.

The outline now looks slightly thicker, but the edges are still not smooth.
