Ask the maker 3.0!

[aida_rose]

It's time for our third round of Ask the Maker!

Here you'll get the chance to ask icon makers who sign up, questions about their icons and other graphics. You can ask for tutorials, guides/"How to", or ask any other questions regarding their work so the makers can compile a Q&A post with the answers to all the questions they get. As always, .PSD

Can you make a tutorial for this icon?

[chacusha]

Sure would love to! Thanks for asking. :)

Edit: sorry about my icon. Ever since the last LJ release, it uses my angry icon by default. AWK-WARD.

[chacusha]

Here you go! :)

It's a pretty simple icon, but I tend to explain things in excruciating detail in case beginners happen to read it. :P

[adrastea]

I just checked it! Thank you. :)

Tutorial or guide (or even just some suggestions tbh) on how to do black and white Disney icons? Specifically, where the contrast is nice without their being an issue of over-sharpening.

[chacusha]

Sure I'll try, although I feel like the more successful black & white icons I've made are sort of accidental. XD Is there any icon in particular you'd like me to use as an example?

[erzsebet]

Um, well some of these are a bit older so you may want to pick something different, but:

[chacusha]

Sure, no problem. I'll make a tutorial for those. :)

[chacusha]

Finished!

I lost the original file for that Maleficent one, so I couldn't recreate it, but I did the other two. :)
