# STEP 1 : Preparations

Download the Painting Texture Guide([FACEPAINTING\_GUIDE.psd](https://studio.zepeto.me/console/download/672da81d626cf61b85ffaa72) ) file from ZEPETO Studio.

Open the downloaded file in Photoshop.

- The guide file includes textures for the face and body area.

# STEP 2 : Creating your item

In the face area, design your idea and without the face layer (background) showing, save the image as a .PNG file with alpha.

- Do not draw outside the face area.

Open Unity and apply the saved .PNG file on the FacePainting area to test.

- Drag no. 2 to no. 3 to apply.
- The color value for no. 3 is #fffff.
- Check the applied texture in screen no.4.

Enter the ZEPETO code to apply it directly to avatars to test.

- Test on a variety of avatar faces to create a more detailed and natural looking item.

# STEP 3 : Uploading your item

Format and save the final image file to be 512 x 512 px square in size.

:::hint{type="danger"}
❗️ **caution**
Only files that are 512 px horizontally and vertically can be uploaded in Studio.
:::

Right-click the saved PNG file and select ZEPETO Studio > Export as. zepeto. Convert the file while in blending mode to create a file with a zepeto file extension.

- At this stage, all textures aside from those that are in the face area are removed before being converted.
