Tutorial 001: Playing around with gradients and textures

[_facade]

This is my first icon tutorial. So feedback and lots of feedback would be lovely and how I could improve my explanation/technique. I never got around to doing icon tutorials because I tend to have a lot of layers and play around with a lot of filters for my icons. So if I were to go step by step it's probably going to take a lot of work
