icon tutorial 2; Leah Dizon

[unanalyzed]

I'm not done with my icons and next resource post yet, so here's another tutorial for all of you. Spring break has been a bummer for me. Most of my other friends were either still in school, on break longer than me, or they work. I want to kick something, lmao. Anywho, I haven't written a tutorial in so long, so I hope this helps. I promise to have something up later this week.
