I've just started making icons and I really have problems with the colouring. You're one of my favourite makers. I especially love your soft colouring. Could you maybe write a tutorial on how you achieve the colouring in these two icons from your latest batch:

Hi there! I've finished the tutorial for the first icon, but I can't seem to get the second one right! I've the psd, but something got messed up and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. I'm so sorry, but because you said I could take any of my other icons, which have the soft colouring too (and let's be honest, most of them have it! lol), I'll just select another random one, if that's okay?

Again, I'm sorry! ;___;

I'm almost certain that I can recreate the first one, but I'm not so sure about the second one! ;.;
I'll do my best!! Thank you for your request!

Hi. ^.^ I've just finished the tutorial for the first icon you requested. Sorry, it turned out pretty different than the original one. I hope that's okay?! Here is the link: http://sweet-season.livejournal.com/3100.html

And I'm super duper sorry, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't recreate the second one! ;___;

[a_cheshire_grin]

Oh wow, these are old. XD I've no idea how I did them, but I'll try my best to recreate them for you! ^.^
Thank you for your request!

[a_cheshire_grin]

Hi there! ^.^

I've tried to recreate both icons, but it didn't work. For the first I couldn't even find the pic I used anymore and I think I deleted the textures I used on the second icon (WHY did I do that?! ;___;).

I'm really VERY sorry! ;___;

[kirtash_girl]

If possible can you make a tutorial for these wonderful Icons?

[a_cheshire_grin]

I would love to! Thank you so much for your request! ^.^

And your Red-icon! Just beautiful! *____*
Please tell me, you have a thread here, because I need to know how you did the colouring! <3

[kirtash_girl]

Awww, wonderful and thank you soooo much, I also love Your Red Icon <3

Unfourtanely I do not have a thread here and I did not save the Icon as a psd :/

[a_cheshire_grin]

No problem!
Thank you! It wasn't done by me, but I love it too! ^.^

Oh, that's too bad. You should, because your icons are really pretty! <3

[kirtash_girl]

Oh thank you *blush*
I love your Icons as well (:
I'll save some psd's, but not this one :/
