I don't know what to write about! There's not much to it. I mean, I just crop it so that there's enough space for text, I look though my fonts and chose whatever feels right* and is readable, the colors come from somewhere in the icon.

* Visually or topically. I'm currently making icons of Doctors with the number of their incarnation and decided to go for the font that looks right visually (making a nice whole with the shape of the mask), although I'm still a bit torn, because some fonts don't fit with the character or the look of that incarnation. For example for the 3rd Doctor a Victorian font would have been the best choice, while for Nine a sans serif would be perfect.

Creative things can to explain for me, I'd rather explain something technical. And I'm not good at operating on vague instructions. When I don't know what exactly people want from me, I get stuck, because I don't feel free to make the compromises I can make when I'm working for myself. So if you want something, please give me specifics. Like that tutorial: I will make one if you outright ask for it, but just suggesting it makes me lean towards no. I do have an idea for which icon to write about though (but it's a textless one), because I've wanted to go on about that one, ha.

Sorry, I should have said that when I signed up, but I tend to forget about these problems until they show up again.
