Resource Post
So I’m finally getting my act together to post some of the many attempts at icons I’ve made. In preparation, I’ve put together a resource post to give due credit where it’s deserved. So without further ado:
HELPFUL TUTORIALS
These are the main tutorials I have used, and keep using.
“Icon Tutorial” by
augustian_silk
- This is my very favorite favorite tut. I don’t always follow it exactly, but I have often used it to get me started. The effect is so lovely.
“Icon prep tutorial and general tips” by
_jems_
- Useful prep tips
“Tutorial || Leverage Icon Tutorial” by
platformnine
- Fantastic tut on lightening and negative space
“two buffy tutorials” by
jehnt
- Great advice on lightening very dark caps
“Black/White tutorial” by
explodeyy
- It takes work to get a really nice black and white icon!
