This post is waaaay longer than I intented it to be, so consider yourself warned.

General questions

AGREED!

This post was excellent and very helpful. It makes me want to open up PS and make some icons :P Also, it was very clear & easy to understand!

Daaaamn. You know what? I have class in a minute, but I think I'm going to print this out and secretly read it while the professor's talking. ;) Just skimming it, I can tell it's great! And your English looks fine. I'll probably be back with another comment later, once I've read it completely, hehe.

OK, now that I've read it... ;D I love your method of coloring, by adjusting the soft light layer and leaving the base relatively "normal", I've never thought of that. This whole tutorial is really neat and I can't wait to try it out! Thanks for being so specific and generous with examples!

Great post!! Thank you for taking the time to make it. :)

I don't often use mask layers, but it's definitely something I'm going to try to incorporate more. I love the idea of coloring just a bit of the icon at a time, allows you much more control.

Oh wow, this is an amazing post. Your application of light blobbies is incredible...I'm sure all my light blobbies will look like just that...blobs. Thank you so much for sharing all this with us!

" Put some red text on this photo"... LOL I want an exam like that.
