Dear People Who Make Icons,

I just read this "It ususally doesn't take that long for me to make an icon ( 20 -30 minutes) unless I'm trying to get text on it" in a post.

Is this an average thing? Because if an icon isn't coming together for me in about a minute, I scrap it. I cannot imagine spending that kind of time on an icon.

Sincerely,
A person who sometimes makes icons

Between finding/making caps, deciding where to crop, coloring, etc.etc. and then the freaking OCD kicks in and I lose my eyesight and start squinting and leaning back and forth and...

Sometimes it can take that long.

But if I've got an awesomely clear cap, great quality, and I don't need to eff around with the coloring much? Less than 5 minutes.

Then again - I make pretty crappy icons. LMAO. And I use a pretty crappy program. *shrugs*

I don't think your icons are crappy.
