Want to learn to draw icons? Enlist in Icon Boot Camp!
FIRST ASSIGNMENT
Make an icon for an application to wash a car (or any other
application). Here is the specification: it has to be a 2D pixel image,
size 32x32 pixels, in black and white on a transparent background.
Black and white icons are hard to make, you can not use colors to set
objects apart. You will have to keep it 2D. Making a black and white
icon may be the most valueable learning expercience you ever get (in
the icon field...). For pixel images you can for instance use the GIMP.

Sneak peek at Inkscape .42! |
|
|
|
 Inkscape's next release due sometime this July is all about Gradients.
According to Silsor, one of many Inkscape developers, "Gradient editing is greatly
enhanced, you do everything right on the canvas now."
In his post on the Inkscape mailing list
Bulia Byak said,
"Overall, this is a major usability milestone, something I dreamed to
do since Sodipodi times. Gradients are one of the most widely used
features in Inkscape, and now they are finally made usable."

The Open Clip Art Library |
|
|
|
 The Open Clip Art Library (OCAL) aims to create
an archive of user contributed clip art that may be freely used. The
project's reason for providing this clip art is to make open source
applications more useful to users; for some users, the availability of
good clip art that can be quickly dropped into a document to dress it
up can be as important as any other feature in the application.
The project was started in early 2004 as a spinoff from Inkscape by
Bryce Harrington and Jon Phillips as a way to help consolidate SVG
images contributed by Inkscape users with similar collections from
other projects. It was directly inspired by the Sodipodi Flags Clipart
project from 2003.

Icons are pixel images or
vector images. Both have their pitfalls. Understanding these pitfalls
will make you a better icon maker.
Icons used to be made as
pixel images. Often the artist would make a 32x32 icon, and then
scale it down to 16x16. Scaling the icon down makes it fuzzy, the
artist had to repair it. Sometimes the 32x32 icon had to be
simplified in order to make it possible to scale it down. Going back
and forth between the icons the artist produced two icons that looked
the same. Each time a new size is added a new icon has to be made.
The number of icons in a set can become so big, the icon set becomes
unmaintainable. Enter vectors.
