Icon Tutorial Time!

Well it's time to re-post this post about some of my favorite tutorials.

Every once and a while I get asked questions about what I do to make avatars. As I have been getting this question frequently I figure it is time again to link to some of my favorite tutorials.

First off there is the one tutorial I ALWAYS link to when people ask questions. This tutorial, by [info]dtissagirl is great for ANY icon maker, new or old. It also links to many great tutorials in it, which I have found helpful.
Also helpful are tutorials which I have in my Memories. Most of these are from [info]icon_tutorial, a great resource for any icon maker.

I'm also adding in one of my favorite places for resources. [info]freshmakers has some of the best icon textures, and brushes, all in one place for you to find them.

Finally a great place for free fonts is dafont.com They have everything there!

I hope these are helpful guys!

Also PLEASE leave your own suggestions of sites. I love finding new tutorials.

Also feel free to check out my icons! I have them over at [info]iconickimmyb and [info]strixwitchicons

Thanks, Kimmy... I don't have the software (as yet?) but expect someday to learn to have fun too! So, I've bookmarked your kind help.
