I created a series of five icon tutorials for Psdtuts+.

Sean Hodge, the (now former) editor of Psdtuts+, commissioned a series of tutorials that feature a digital painting icon set. The articles will appear once a week for a total of five weeks, leading into the new year. So for me 2010 is already off to a good start.

The first tutorial is entitled Creating a Set of Digital Painting Icons Part 1 – Sketchbook with Pencil Icon and here’s the final icon:

The second tutorial is Creating a Set of Digital Painting Icons Part 2 – Camera Icon. Take a look at that SLR:

The third tutorial is called Creating a Set of Digital Painting Icons Part 3 – Paint Brush Icon and teaches you how to create this icon:

The fourth, Creating a Set of Digital Painting Icons Part 4 – Digital Tablet Icon, features a Wacom Cintiq tablet:

Finally the fifth and last tutoril is entitled Creating a Set of Digital Painting Icons Part 5 – Cityscape Display Icon and includes some nice techniques taken from the world of matte painting:

This series was a lot of fun to create and I hope you enjoy all five tutorials.
