Tutorial 02

[iconetra]

This time we will be coloring and making a pretty nature icon, but I guess that you could use this coloring for any other icon as well =] We are making this icon in PSP8, but it should be easily translatable to any other version of Photoshop or PSP.

Dial up users may want to be careful, it's not image heavy but incase you wanted to be on the safe

Oooh! Looking good =] However,a tip, dont have your images come out so grainy since it takes away from the prettyness :)

Everyone should learn the wonders of the png extension. lol

No idea what that means :D Explain? (Im new to the icon making thing)

You know how the icon you showed above is saved as a "jpg"? iconetra had mentioned to save your pictures less grainy. To do this, in your dropdown menu, when you go to save things, instead of selecting "jpg" select "png".
