1. Create an image with equal dimensions. I will do mine 50x50 just so you all can see what I do with each step.
2. Outline the image and create diagonals across it with black.
3. Pick a color, and select four different shades of it. We will be using grey.
4. Put the lightest shade in the upper area; the second lightest in the left, the second darkest in the bottom, and the darkest in the right.
5. Fill in the outline and diagonals with the darkest color.
Note: It also looks nice if you round off the corners a tiny bit by putting a 1-pixel dot in each that is the same color as your background.
