Ask the maker 4.0!

[aida_rose]

It's time to kick off our 4th round of Ask the Maker! here at icon_talk

Here you'll get the chance to ask icon makers who sign up questions about their icons and other graphics. You can ask for tutorials, guides/"How to", or ask any other questions regarding their work so the makers can compile a Q&A post with the answers to all the questions they get. As

I'd love to know the font you used here:
as well as the fonts that are your go tos!

And a tutorial for any of these would be lovely!:


(← I would really LOVE LOVE LOVE one for this one)

the font of that icon would be Roadway :D!
Fonts, I♥fonts. Surely will do that.

And I can definetely do the last icon, and probs the first one too. The second one, however, it's a crop out from a tumblr graphic, and I don't tend to save what I do to those and usually never go the same way so I have no idea of what I did. I hope that's ok :D

YEEEEES!!! You are my favorite person ever in the history of ever!!! Also, also, the one you JUST made for capchallenge:



HOW?

[nyaza]

Ok, I'm working my way through the first two slowly but surely, and anyway, that one is particulary ... messy. used tons of layers, turned on and off lots of layers, merged, used merged layers, turned on and off a lot of layers. It's basically a weird sum of selective colouring, random gradients & some textures (with lots of focusing on yellows and blues).

What I can offer though, is to answer questions or giving tips about anything in particular you'd like to know about it. And add it with the rest :D

Ok here it is the tuto for the last one :DDDD
I'm working on the first and I hope I'll be able to get it done for next week. (I'm waiting to be able to post some icons for the font list so I'm waiting for that too.

Again, if you wanna know anything specific about the Rose/Ten icon, please ask, and I'll add it to the rest :D

Ok, so I finally finished it, sorry for the wait. it took longer than expected to be able to use some of the icons for the fonts and then I was kinda busy, but here you are. both the tuto for ~pretendtobehuman & a font selection :D
