I myself use Adobe Photoshop. Other people use other programs, they all work
fine. All you really need is a program that allows you to zoom in, cut, paste
and draw. All of the torso designs that you've seen by me are totally hand
drawn, with the exception of the silver lion.

That's more simple than you'd probably like to believe. I will admit, I've
worked off the shoulders of others. My tempates were made by simply deleting
someone elses torso and keeping the white (or otherwise) border. The template
I used for my teardrop shield, however, was given to me by Kevin Hall.

I try to keep my work hand drawn, or lego authentic. I've used scans and lego
torso sticker designs to add to my stickers. Kevin Hall has both the lion and
the black falcon designs on his brickbay gallery, and I used that lion for my
shield. Everything else I've drawn pixel by pixel.

Yes. Don't make a torso sticker, place a mark over it somewhere, and then
share it with everyone thinking that noone will take it from you. If you're
gonna share sticker designs, share it so that anyone can take them. If you
want to keep them for yourself, then make them yourself and then show them off
while they sit on one of your minifig's chest.
