How Do I create an additional apple ID

My husband and I have been sharing one Apple ID account for two iphones for several years - we want to set up a family share so that we can have our own pictures on our phones and still share the icloud storage, purchased apps etc. but not have them on both phones. I can't seem to find instructions on creating an additional id- he already has "our Apple ID on his phone" how do we create a new one for him and replace it on his iphone and not mess up my ID (our original one) ?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 13

What really needs to happen to do this correctly is completely erase his phone using the instructions here: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Then have him go through the setup process on his phone. He can create his own Apple ID using his email address during the setup if he doesn't already have one.
