Closed (sort of)
TEOM as you know it has been closed. I will keep it up for reference but it no longer will receive tutorial updates.
There are plans for a completely new site. If you'd like to be notified once the other site is up, simply subscribe to my mailing list.
Thanks for the support throughout all these years :)

Create a new image.
» Settings: any size you wish, 72 dpi, background color = transparent, image type = 16.7 million colors.
Set the foreground color to a dark shade of grey and the background color to a light shade of cream.
» My colors: #8A8076 and #FAEDD4.
With the Selection tool, create an ellipse in the middle of the canvas, around 160×100 pixels, not smaller than that and not very larger.
» Selection tool settings: selection type = ellipse, feather = 0, antialias checked.
Check the bottom left corner to view the coordinates.
Flood Fill the selection with the background color (right-click to apply the background color and left-click to apply the foreground color).

Contract the selection by 20 pixels and Flood Fill it with the foreground color.
