#HolidayEmojiWeek – Design Your Own Emojis

Jolly? Excited? Joyful? What better way to share your holiday spirit this year than with custom emojis! We want to share the fun of creating unique emojis with you this season, so every day for #HolidayEmojiWeek, we’ll unveil a new tutorial that shows you how to create a different, personalized emoji.

Believe it or not, Illustrator CC makes it super simple and fun. It’s just a simple two-step process — you draw the face, and then dress it up with a variety of facial expressions from Illustrator.

Here’s what you’ll learn throughout the week. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter during #HolidayEmojiWeek to get the tutorials and assets every day to create your own emoji!

**Mochi the Snowman
**Mochi is a soft cuddly snowman made of the the first snows of winter, with soft powdery cheeks and eyes that sparkle with the iridescence of a diamond.

**Pearl the Snowflake
**Pearl is a unique little snowflake. She loves long walks on the beach — the North Pole’s icy beach, that is — and her favorite subject is math. She’s freakishly good at fractals!

**Holly the Jolly Holly
**Holly is sweet but can be a little bit bitter as well. People that don’t know her well think that she’s a berry, but she’s really a drupe.

**Sir Hopsalot the Penguin
**Sir Hopsalot is a cheeky little penguin. He can’t fly, but he makes up for that with his vivacious dances.
