My very first icon tutorial!
Here's the end result:
Sorry for any typos etc. It's pretty late here and I'm tired
PLEASE NOTE: This is just a pixelling tutorial. You'll have to look into animation tutorials via Google. This also applies to making backgrounds transparent as it varies with every software and some don't support either of these features.

This seems simple, but I'm still getting used to my new tablet so my ladybug turned out like a fish. I'm sure with time I'll get better, though. This is very helpful, thanks a lot. :]
