Read the full guide

Seven faces, told apart by eyes and mouth

Every face is the same yellow circle, so the expression does the work: two arches for laughing eyes, one flat line for a wink, a black band for sunglasses, red stars, a round red mouth, a white Z for sleep and a red tongue.

Yellow and black on every face

Yellow and black are in all 7 face keys, and each background adds another crayon: purple, red, blue, orange, brown or green. Open More options and choose Detailed 24 by 24 for pink cheeks, white teeth and orange shading.

The Sleepy face is the quickest sheet: 137 squares in 3 crayons on the easy grid.

Questions and answers

Is there a color by number smiley face?

Yes. Five of the pictures smile: the Laughing face, the Winking face, the Face with sunglasses, Star eyes and the Face with tongue out. Each is a yellow face with a black outline on a colored background.

Which emoji takes the most crayons?

The Laughing face: purple, black, yellow, blue and red on the easy grid, and 7 colors on the detailed one. The Winking face, the Face with sunglasses and the Sleepy face need only 3.

Are these the emojis from a phone?

No. Each one is our own pixel drawing, 12 or 24 squares across, and copies no phone's or app's emoji artwork. The names say what the face is doing: laughing, winking, surprised, sleepy.

Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no picture copies the emoji artwork of any phone, app or font. The descriptions state no facts beyond what is drawn, and the color and square counts were counted from the finished grids. Licence: own work
