Soooo I've been meaning to do this for a while.

So after I was asked by some people how I do stuff in my last post + one of this weeks secrets (I still creys) @ iconsecrets I

I see others are already asking excellent questions, so I'd be super happy about a tiny little tut for this (especially the monochrome colouring):

[pamkips]

Ohhh ok! I'll write one, no problem. :D Lawl this will be hilarious considering I just started using monochromatic coloring. lD

[derezzed]

Ah so glad you've done this <3

I have a couple of questions:

1) All of your backgrounds are so detailed with the shapes, swirls and words/texts. Do you custom make them each time you create an icon or do you have a load of shapes saved?

2) Do you have any particular textures you use quite a lot/ you like a lot.

[pamkips]

Np! I feel bad for replying so late thought. ;A; Sorry about that.

1. Yes I do! :D I find that reusing shapes never works for my icons boo at me for being difficult so I'll make them as I go according to the icons space. :e

2. Yep! A lot of lookslikerain (soaked), fuuurs (aquatilitis) drankmywar (defaultsettings) & shoqolad (distractiions) textures give my icons life & I adore them so so so so much.
