Getting Started
The screen is layed out in four main sections:
Body Attributes - this is where you can customise the look of your emoticons main body with a range of effects.
Face Attributes - here you select each of the facial parts you want, and can reposition them individually.
Global Attributes - this allows you to alter the position and strength of all the facial features.
Canvas - you can see a smaller, actual size rendering of your emoticon, and on the right a zoomed in rendering.
Its probably best to work from the base up, so go to "effects" to find out more about body attributes.
