Thank you for the comments on my last post! I'm so happy you guys liked the textures & icons so much! It's so, so cool! :p
Life's been crazy at work lately, & I haven't had a minute for myself. So before I bring you new textures, I thought I'd share my two favorite colorings at the moment. I'm not sure this qualifies as tutorials, but this'll give you an idea of how I make icons...
