I'm really interested which textures and fonts you used in this:
and this:
A little Coloring guide would be also great :) And can you tell, how you achieve such a shadow like in this one?
Thanks :)

Sure! The first two will probably end up as whole tutorials because by the time I've identified the components that made up the icon I might as well to a full tut. But yeah I can do those :)

You'll need to be a bit more specific for the colouring guide one though - do you mean for those two icons, and if not, which ones?

I'm actually already doing a full tutorial for the Pascal icon, but I'll do a quick guide on making shadows :)

You're awesome! A Coloring guide on the bright coloring of the second Icon would be great, esp. in how you achieve such a coloring in the background without looking oversaturated :) Thanks so much, again :)

I think since it's quite specific colouring for that icon, there's no real need for a separate colouring guide as I'll be including the colouring stages of the making of that icon in the icon tutorial :)
