Somehow that process doesn't translate well into tutorial (although I TRIED to explain it with the one I posted today *grins*). But IDK, I think even if I knew the technique better, that's still a part of art. And the joy of electronic art is that we can say EW and make it go away with a single click without making it go away permanently, in case we need some piece of it later.
Part of the reason I started doing fandom20in20 was to convince me to do more with icons than just crop & curves which is what I do normally. Then maybe slap a little text on. I'm looking back at earlier icons I've made and just WINCING now. I've been learning a lot... practice? At least challenges inspire us to do a LOT of practicing, right??
I may try to make a few with the next round of the challenge. I just have to remember to actually save and stuff them into a file if I like them. I've got some vague idea how to do it now... I need to spend time playing with it... which *laughs* sounds familiar all over again, yeah?
