hello #4, snagging. Actually love all the Leverage icons!

Icons I like best: 2, 6, 7, 11 and 13 :)

Thanks hun! I'm having a play about with some elements of your tutorial from the other day and so far I've not closed PS in anger ;D

[wickedground]

hehe, I guess that's a good thing?!? lol

I kinda want to write another tutorial, I just don't know of which icon (it's the problem if you don't save psds and suck at recreating xD)

[memoryfloodsin]

Yeah! See icon - trying to do the messy smudge thing without worrying about how it looks.

I'd love some general tutorials, if you'd find them easier? Particularly one of text, I'm terribly jealous of your text capabilities.

[wickedground]

omg looks awesome (and see, no one will notice messy smudging!). Love the text!!

Text? Really? I find it terribly hard at the moment to come up with good text placement, so I'm not doing anymore lol xD

[memoryfloodsin]

Thanks hun!
Yeah, I just cannot do text, I find it hard to come up with actual words and then the placement and colouring and font, urgh it's so hard!

[wickedground]

I more have problems with the actual words than the placement. I like doing the latter. I guess that's a reason why my headers always have text, but icons seldomly do (more space - easier for text placement).

[memoryfloodsin]

Even if I find words I like/fit the icon I still can't find a placement or a font that works, it's so hard. Yeah I find it easier on headers too because there is more space.

i kinda would love to write a tutorial for the H/Hr icon, but I don't remember anything about it except I used a few stockpix to create the light on it :(

I wonder if there are good text tutorials out there, hmmm

[memoryfloodsin]

I hate it when you can't remember how you did an icon.

I know there was one for the member of the month on icon_crack a while back that I found useful for the basics but I'm still floundering around.

[wickedground]

sadly happens to me all the time :/

oh I'd like to see that. Can you link me?

[memoryfloodsin]

I'll try and find it but I'm not 100% sure I bookmarked it.

[wickedground]

I hope you find it ♥ You have a favourite font? with serif or sans serif?

[memoryfloodsin]

I normally stick with arial rounded. I've really no idea about fonts at all!

[wickedground]

personally, I love Arial. And Times lol. I also love Pea Bethany and Pea Stacy Doodle Script (both handscripts).

[memoryfloodsin]

This is the link I was talking about. I'm just really useless at branching out and using other fonts.
