Lol ^_^" thanks ^_^' I'm not a good teacher ;-; basically I experiment a lot ^.^" I take an image and think "Now what can I do to make this different than all the other images of this character" That means originality with cropping and color etc... ^_^" I choose colors that match the mood and textures that will help depict the emotion as clearly as possible ^_^" I also like to mess with fonts. I want something expressive but readable ^_^" To me the font used in the icon of teh cat girl and the violin is very musical ^_^" so I used it but the most important thing is that it's readable ^_^" try to avoid font that is cursive. I often outline my text because when using colors that are too light for the image it is either unreadable or looks unfinished that goes for borders too. Know when and when not to use borders. If it feels unfinished when you are done then it needs a border. And sometimes the simplest border looks amazing on an icon. Most of my icons LOOK simple but are very very detailed as far as how they were created ^_^" lots of layers, lots of textures, lots of messing around with brushes, gradients, paths etc... ^_^ you'll get the hang of it ^_^
