The Process
---------------------
In this video, I use Photoshop to create 3 new app icons for popular brands! This is a whirlwind of painting, shading, and throwing together every texture under the sun. We've got some custom illustrations and a lot of photo editing tricks too!

@stormzplays 10 дней назад

With the world slowly starting to hate on minimalistic designs, it is a matter of time where realistic stuff like Y2K or Skeumorphism will return back in principle in design. And you have perfectly captured the old and gold days of the old iPhone Icons and aesthetic.

Your creativity and skill is amazing! You make your art look so effortless, you're a true master at this craft! One thing though, and this is not a critique. Did you know that app icons are no rectangles with rounded corners? They're 'squircles', the sides are actually not straight. They're bent ever so slightly, this makes them look more organic on your phone screen. This blew my mind when I first read this!

As someone that uses photoshop myself I have a couple questions, for your rim lighting and shadows it seems like it’s just a predefined curved that already snapped to the box, and I’ve literally never seen you use the paint bucket tool. Good video, as I assume that’s just for retention cause it’s something to look at.
