Helping icon makers one tutorial at a time.

How would I go about getting this type of texture on icons? I use psp8




All icons made by biitchinbabi17 at GJ - except the last icon. That was made by terriblekiss.

Today I'll show how to go from
this to

( Here, at my icon journal... )

How would I get this kind of text effect on an icon? The big letters, how they kind of get closer in the middle of the icon??
I use PSP7. Thanks in advance!

My question isn't necessarily about icons, rather it's about image hosting. I've been trying to host larger images (like banners and whatnot) on Imageshack but for some reason it's not displaying the images. I know I clicked on the right url to host it( img src=), but it still doesn't show up. Now, I'm not all that familiar with Imageshack, haven't used it as extensively as I have Photobucket, so I may be doing something wrong, pasting in the wrong URL or something. I just want to find a hosting site that won't resize or put hideous colored banners around my images.

Help anyone?

Thanks.

EDIT:

I got it to work on Photobucket. Word to the wise: never name your images 'banner'. Anything but banner LOL! Thanks for the help everyone! *smooch*

i absolutly love this kind of coloring, where the lips and eyes are shiny like that but i have no idea how to do it...i'm fairly new to icon making so try and make it easy for me to understand! i'm using photoshop

How do you get coloring like this?



I reckon it has something to do with selective coloring? (Correct me if I'm wrong, please) I browsed through the memories about it, and I couldn't find any.

These icons were made by krycons

Can anyone help me try and get this kinda of look/feel for this icon? I'm lost on how to acomplish it...

Okay so I'm back with a brand new whack.(lol. Mkay, I couldn't resist...xD)

Hi everyone! I'm curious as to how one would go about achieving the icon coloring found in these icons. I checked the website they came from and it seems like these photos have been manipulated somehow. And I checked the community (refuted) for tutorials and I didn't find anything. I just love the brightness of the colors and I'm curious as to how you do it! Thanks in advance. :)

Hey guys, question. I use Photoshop 7 and whenever I go to use a font I've downloaded to put on a graphic, the font isn't listed there with the basic fonts. But the thing is, I can open up paint and use the font in there. Why aren't the fonts coming up in the Text Tool Bar in Photoshop? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

PSP Users: Doesn't it stink that we don't have selective coloring to make all those beautiful bluish-toned icons? I, myself am a PSP user and am constantly having troubles finding PSP tutorials to garner the same selective coloring effect. 

I've been looking for tutorials for the past while now, with little success...so i send it to you. Anyone know of some good PSP tutorials aimed at achieveing the selective coloring effect? Any help is appreciated! Thanks :)

I have tried searching the memories but can't seem to find something on setting layers to color. An example is when I try to change the color of a dress to another (like from pink to blue). This tutorial says "set that layer to color (L) 100." I'm really sorry if this is has an obvious answer but I just got photoshop 8 and am getting used to the layers and stuff.

THANK YOU!

Does anyone know how I can get  this effect? I can't find the original picture, but I have a picture from the same sketch. I use Photoshop 7.

Thank you so much!
