nice bb! hmm reminds me to start of mine too. XD

[a_thari]

Thank you!!

I have to admit, I'm pretty proud that got this done and didn't fuck up English language in the process. :D

[gallicka]

I have no idea how I should write mine. They asked some complicated questiona. XD
Also, lovely Shawna asked a tut for this icons:

[a_thari]

I had quite a few restarts because I got the steps mixed up or upload the examples in the wrong order.

Eventually I just opened the psd, made a new file, dragged layer after layer to the new canvas and wrote up what I was doing. I also made a copy + merge example after every step and put it where it belonged within the tut so I didn't mix them again.

the last one is GORGEOUS! Saving this to memories, thanks for the tutorials :)

[a_thari]

You're welcome! I had a blast writing them. Hopefully they prove to be helpful.

[tor_na_do]

They're so beautiful!

Thank you for taking your time to make these <3

[a_thari]

It was an interesting experience to make them. Glad you like them!

[jokermary]

This tutorial is amazing, thank you so much *_*

[a_thari]

Actually, thank you, for asking what I do to make soft colorings. It let me examine the process much closer than I do when I just make icons and as a result I understand it better now myself.

[jokermary]

It's just that I have always wanted to know how to make soft coloring like the one in your icons, so I found the courage and I asked :P

[blighted_star]

I just love the coloring on The Notebook icon. And the last icon - the original cap had dull colors and you did a great job of making it pretty

[a_thari]

Yeah, the colors in that spn cap didn't intrigue me at all. If it hadn't been for the dynamic I would have completely overlooked it.

Thank you for commenting, I hope the tuts prove to be useful. :)

[blighted_star]

They're very useful :)
