My first ever cursor!I can't believe how easy it is to make cursors seriously.. :'D
Well if you are not familiar to changing your cursor,
FOLLOW THESE STEPS ! <3
---------------------
1. Save this cursor onto your pictures. (It is a .png at the moment.)
2. Upload it onto GIMP or Photoshop and save it as a ".cur", ".ani", or ".ico"
3. Go to; Start > Pictures and find your cursor.
4. Look over to the left. Do you see a folder that says "OS ( C: )"? Drag your cursor to that folder.
5. Click on "OS ( C: )", and drag that cursor into the folder that says "Windows"
6. Click on "Windows" and locate the cursor. Drag it up to the folder that says, "Cursors"
7. On your home screen, right click and go to "personalize"
8. On the left, click the option that says "change mouse pointers"
9. Make sure you click on the pointer you want to change. I would change the, "Normal Select" so click "browse" on the bottom right hand corner.
10. You know that option bar that says, "Files of Type" ? Change that option to, "All Files"
11. Double click your cursor, and click "OK" when you're done.
---------------------
JJANG!~ YOU'RE FINISHED!
This is my way of changing my cursors, so I dont know if theres a much simpler way. If you are having trouble setting up the cursor, please feel free to ask me! <3

It's not that hard though!
All you have to do is make a 32x32 canvas, draw a normal pixel + the arrow
and do those steps!

ohh! You know how you click pictures, and you see all these options on the left side of the browser?
You go to the one that says 'Computer' and find OS( C: ).
You drag the cursor to that folder > u <
