When you make icons, do you often do a similar method each time? I think that everyone has their own way of approaching making icons. And it tells a little something about the artist and how they deal with their work.
For me, I start by selecting my stock, then by sharpening, dodging and burning, I work on making it the best quality possible. From there I start with some blurring and again, more sharpening, to bring out my focal points. And then, lastly, it's all about colour baby. Depending on my icon, I usually have a set style though, if you look through my icons, I generally work with my contrasted dark style, which I do less, and it also takes more work, then my other style which works best with a lot of colours and contrast, where by I simply pop reds, purples and obscure colours like that, you can refer to my signature for that style!
So, what ways do you guys approach icons? Do you have a particular style?
