Icon Tutorial | How I Do My Icons. [Update]

Hello Everyone! So I decide to do a icon tutorial for my 140 watchers! I had few people PM me and tell me to do one... so why not? Well I already hit my 150+ Watchers.... I know already? So I was thinking of doing a video tutorial will more details and with my voice? I figure it might be better... but anyways here a picture tutorial for you guys/girls! I didn't put as much details to explaining, and I'm sorry for that but like I said I will probably make a video. I just made this this quick tutorial, and yes I am still on hiatus mode! If you have any questions that I didn't explain in this tutorial fill free to comment below and ask me! Also if you want any more tutorials on how I do my artwork I be happy to make one for you. Well like always I forget what else I need to say so I guess I'm done...?

P.S. I remember something I forgot to say... Uhm for this tutorial I used Photoshop 5.. but it pretty much the same for gimp and paint.net. I have use those other programs to make icons before and it really is the same thing, so need help getting same icon effects on those other programs I be happy to answer your questions.
