This icon has amazing colouring and wonderful clarity! I'd love a tutorial!

[novindalf]

Of course! :)

Five months late, but I've finally done this :P

I'd love a tut for any of these :)

[novindalf]

Sure, no problem!

[novindalf]

Rather late, but here's the first of your requested tutorials - hope it's helpful!

[novindalf]

And the second :)

[novindalf]

Aand here's the final one :) Sorry again for taking so long!

I'm really interested which textures and fonts you used in this:

[novindalf]

Sure! The first two will probably end up as whole tutorials because by the time I've identified the components that made up the icon I might as well to a full tut. But yeah I can do those :)

You'll need to be a bit more specific for the colouring guide one though - do you mean for those two icons, and if not, which ones?

I'm actually already doing a full tutorial for the Pascal icon, but I'll do a quick guide on making shadows :)

You're awesome! A Coloring guide on the bright coloring of the second Icon would be great, esp. in how you achieve such a coloring in the background without looking oversaturated :) Thanks so much, again :)

[novindalf]

I think since it's quite specific colouring for that icon, there's no real need for a separate colouring guide as I'll be including the colouring stages of the making of that icon in the icon tutorial :)

Ridiculously late, but here's the first one:

Would you do a guide on Monochromes? You some amazing blue and green icons and make them so pretty! Could be just tips, too. Thank you.
