Admittedly this icon is not my best by a longshot, but this technique can give results far better than this, so I am sharing! This was done using Photoshop CS5, but any version of photoshop will suffice.

Also I didn't double-check for grammar and english mistakes, so expect lots of them.

I've been wanting to do a tutorial on how I color for a while, and today I didn't have much to do, so I thought-- hey, why not! So, here it is. I apologize if it's a bit confusing, I'm terrible at explaining things, but I tried...!

AH, right, this was done using Photoshop CS5. (BUT THESE OPTIONS ARE IN EVERY PHOTOSHOP SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT HAVING A EARLIER VERSION!)



Please note that this is pretty image heavy. Alsoo I didn't double check for grammar mistakes, so you'll probably see tons of English errors. Sorry!

I hope this helped out! If something's not clear don't hesitate to ask!

So! I promised aimaru I would get a sort of tutorial up for how I do vectoring. I'm super super new to it, and this tutorial is only my second one, haha, so it's very amateur and basic, but I thought it might be useful for anyone else who might be interested in getting started as well. It's essentially the basic uses of the pen tool, since I'm sure it's capable of loads more, but this is all I've managed thus far. Hopefully, it can be of at least a little help! Ah, and I'm not really too great at explaining things without visuals, so as a warning, this is IMAGE HEAVY!!

Ah, and I forgot to mention-- this is being done in Photoshop!! /doesn't know how to use anything else haha;;

( I made sure to pick an awesome image to demonstrate )
