Hi > w <

Another Icon steps * u *

Program Used: Photoshop

I always work on 50x50 pixel, 300 DPI resolution. I zoom the icon to 100% and work on all details closely.
I use my own pre-made base.
I'm not good in explaining so, I decide to put some steps of my icon
I hope this will be helpful <3
If you need, feel free to ask me > u < <3
F.A.Q.
How can I do transparent Background?
In Photoshop when you create a new canvas file, choose "Transparent background" instead of "white background" >u<
How can I create transparent background on another program?
I don't know sorry ;u; try to search some tutorials of your favorite program around DA ;w; <3
How Photoshop works?
Sorry but I'm not able to explain how the program works ;u; sorry!<3333


If you have any question feel free to ask me * o *

Question, how many layers do you have in the end? and what program do you use to animate?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Mimru In reply to katcatlinkattack [2013-06-27 17:09:21 +0000 UTC]

I have my base on the first layer!I create a layer above the first with the black lineart >u<
Then I create another layer (under the one with the lineart) with the colors!
After this I merge all layers >u< because I like to work on one layer!<33

I use Photoshop CS2 for animate my pixels!
I don't have a tutorial for animation, but I link to you a tutorial by another artist <33
staticwind.deviantart.com/art/... I work in this way >uπŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1
