I wanna join! I have a burning yearning to learn how to make good icons! I'm just completely clueless about using programs for it and I don't even have Photoshop.
Feel free to join! There is no experience level requirement. There is a freeware program called GIMP that many very talented makers use. I won't be able to help much with it as I tried once on my Mac laptop and was *lost* but I know there are GIMP comms and plenty of talented makers who are helpful.
When money isn't an issue, Photoshop Elements is ~$100 and I could help you navigate that program. Actually, if I can find my old copy of Photoshop Elements (and I mean OLD! I think it's version 2 or 3 and it's now on 9? 10? more?) I'd be happy to send it to you. It's the program that I learned on before biting the bullet and buying Photoshop. Obviously I'm not using it any longer and the license should still be good.
Done!! I know that I'm completely unable to participate for the moment, I'm icon fandom blind and unable to give concrit, but even like that, reading what the others can say about a work is really enlightening! I'm just going to read to begin with, and I'm really happy you pursued that idea and gave birth to it!
Isn't it, though? raiindust proposed it and exp0se added in the workshops! I'm hoping that having a variety of activities rather than just having people post icons when ever they feel like it (the general structure I've seen at a bunch of dead comms) will help this one survive where others have not. *fingers crossed*
