Icon Meme

[rosy_nic]

Hi fellow icon makers, it's 4 four months into 2013, and so I thought I would do a sort of progress meme things as we had one similar last year plus it would be nice to get some conversation going in this comm. So explain your favourite icons & techniques you have made, managed and loved also your worse and your areas for improvement

I love 4 and 5 of your favourites. The off-blacks are really pretty and I love the blues in #5.

Well I went to have a look at your work and you seem to have a tendecy toward simple icons. I know you like to icon celebs but maybe try masking out the background or using negative space more to augment your style and just offer up something different?
Maybe try looking through wickdshy's graphics comm. She has a style that's quite simple but her posts are still very varied. Another maker you might want to check out is fan_cifully over at fan_cicons.
Lastly this tutorial list (also by fan_cifully) is like my icon bible. Hopefully you'll find it useful as well :)

Best of luck!!

I love the vintagey feel of your first fave icon, and the crop of your second fave! ♥

I would on your colouring so it's a little less hit & miss at the moment, to me and maybe the quality of the starting cap might also help :)
