Hello everyone, many people have asked me how do I make those types (which Du can see in this article) of icons. And I try to tell them but couldn’t explain it at that time. And that’s why I thought that I should write an Artikel about it, I wish it’ll help Du all to enhance your ability. This is not just a single article. I will Upload the Sekunde part too. In first part I will tell Du basic and simple steps from which Du can improve your Icon (By using Photoshop and Sekunde Von using any online editing website) . I decided to do this as when I was uploading Icons in gallery (of this spot) I saw people were doing same mistake and thought that if I can help Du guys it’ll be good for Du guys too and for this spot too. So here I’ll start with.
Size : Size of Icon does matter, best size for Icons is (1OO x 1OO)cm oder (15O x15O) as in Fanpop profiles our Icons are shown between these two sizes. Though Du can extend it to (2OO X 2OO)cm. But Du extend it Mehr it looks like a fanart rather than an icon. So if Du want a “perfect” Icon keep it under size (2OO X 2OO)cm.
Quality : Quality of picture is Sekunde
most important thing for an icon, as Icons are small in size so while editing keep in mind to not make the Icon too bright oder blurred.
Effect : I have seen many editing works were people add effect which don’t suit the picture/icon, like there a Icon of Flora which looks cute and with any Foto editing website one add feuer flame effect to it which don’t Suits it. Editing (such as that of pixlr express) works for pictures but not for icons. Adding too much glitter make Icon very famine which is not liked Von everyone instead try to add little glitter/sparkles.
In photoshop Du can use soft edge (round) brush and just click where Du want it to be, not many but little soft glitter can make Icon look adorable.
Text add another good thing to icons, try to add little and meaningful quote to icon, which takes Icons to the Weiter standard.
Good Foto editing website : Before I had Photoshop 7 I used to use link. It’s one of the best Foto editing website. I have used Photoshop element 1O before and I can say it’s like PS element very much. It has free brushes, Du don’t need to download all just add then and save them. Whenever Du want to make Icon Du can Upload those brushes. Du can learn how to Bearbeiten with that website as it has a section “Help” and once you’ll learn it’ll be very easy for you. Du can even ask Fragen there. I can assure Du that it’s better than Pixlr express and pic monkey. Just try to roam around it and learn it. If I could give it stars out of 5 I would have gegeben it 1O/5 XD
While adding text Du can give effect to texts too , drop shadow effect it good for it as it makes text Mehr realistic.
In Weiter part I’ll tell Du about shadow effect, techniques of using brushes, adding yellowish border (blended) and how to blend/merge images. If I couldn’t contain all of these topics in one I would write another Artikel for left ones.
Uploading : While uploading add ( 2OO X 2OO )cm Icons add them Icon Du can add them in any category e.t. Fan art oder icons. As it can be called Icon (usually Icon are of 1OO X1OO but it can be 2OO X 2OO) oder a Fan art.
Thanks for Lesen this, I hope this will help Du guys. I’ll Upload Weiter part soon. Please give your review.

I was always told do not go outside the palace gates. I had listened to them for the past seventeen years and on my eighteenth birthday I told myself I will see the world outside the brick walls. I mean what could be so bad about that world that seems so interesting from my bedroom window. For once in my life I wanted adventure that would take me far away from this place. I knew my goal and on the stroke of midnight that marked my birthday I would go outside those iron gates that kept me “safe” for so many years.
