Since I experiment a lot with my coloring and change it with almost every icon batch, I don't remember exactly how I did these but I recreated them as best as I could and made tuts for the clones.

Sort of a disclaimer: parts of this coloring technique (the first 3-4 steps) I learned from a letsbebad's tutorial. So nothing terribly new here.

Oh and I use Photoshop CS 8.0.
