I'm just wondering how do everyone make these extremely nice icons?
Do you use a program and draw them much bigger and then narrow them or do you draw them on paper and then fix it in a program?
I've always been curious about this so I felt like asking.
I would be happy to answer to your question through my method... I am awful at drawing something with pencil. I don't have a graphic tablet or something, and my scanner is broken, so I cannot even dream at something like that.
Conclusion? I have to rely on google, and search for shapes there. Then I just cover the shape with color and add the shading myself. After, I can add other effects, and the icon is done. This doesn't go for all icons. The best example is this icon: http://wc3sear.ch/Icons2/2727/BTNSpellWard.jpg .
It is one of my best. That is because I combined both the techniqued mentioned above for the hand, and pure photoshop filters to obtain the circle the hand is pointing at. Hope this somesort answered your question. That's the way I do it!
for me i just simply enlarge a icon at 512 with using pixel resize, draw one colour like as a base then darken and light , etc and i come up a picture and then i resize to 64x64 using smartsize and then save to tga then convert a long proccess which loses quality cuz my gawd dam programs r caking up.
Pathetic, I can't believe you say that you can make icons. That is not iconing, that is copy-pasting. And gosh... if you can't make a DISBTN version, do you know how to atleast add a wc3 border?
