Sure! Though, I have to warn you, my personal journal is on permanent hiatus because apparently keeping up with an actually blog (instead of goofing around on tumblr) is too much responsibility for me, haha. But I do comment on other people's blogs a lot!
You've only been at icon making for two years? This feels like entirely new information to me! I guess I thought you'd been at it longer, given that you host those fantastic battles all the time!
I have so much love for that second icon of yours. It's just such an incredibly gorgeous everything.
Annnnnd, can I give you five themes to challenge yourself? Blending | Blocking | Geometric Shapes | Text inspired by this guide | Text inspired by this guide.
OMG, those are amazing guides! I have not read them but now will favor them to read over and over again! Thank you! I will work on those five challenges you've given me (and they are challenges, lol).
I started about two years ago so I could enter challenges. I had no idea what I was doing and literally read every tutorial I could come across. It's how I learned about aspect ratio, pixels etc.
YAY! Tutorial sharing success is the BEST kind of success! Now I am uber excited for the icons :)
Haha. I definitely attribute my desire to enter challenges as one reason for my own improvement. But yeah, like I said, very shocked by this information, but in a good way.

And oh man, I feel you on having trouble with text and composition; those have always been my weak points as well.
