I'm really glad - as you did obviously go to a lot of trouble to send that and I do really appreciate it =)
Well... I still don't use/understand properly brushes and textures and i have (I think) the loosest understanding of layers - but text... I really don't know why I find it so hard. There are a few ideas I have for just basic text icons, and I just get so frustrated as they all come out so awful that I end up giving up pretty quickly - which I'm afraid is a bad fault of mine.
I think part of it is because I don't know enough about which fonts to use/which would look best - they always seem to look blurry or just plain crappy when I do them - maybe I should send you a couple and you could see what I mean?
I sort of feel stupid though as I tend to think that doing plain text icons must be the easiest thing to do and yet I just can't seem to grasp it!
Thanks for your patience though, definitely much appreciated!
