I'm back with another tutorial, but this time, we'll be switching gears slightly and learning a different icon style: my beloved sparkle graphics *w* I wrote a tutorial in 2006 for a similar style, but I wanted to make an updated version with the skillz I've learned over the years~

This is much longer than my past few icon tutorials and more complicated. It was written in Photoshop 2020 and assumes that you are decently comfortable using the software already, because there's a lot going on that will be confusing if you don't already know the basics. I don't know how well it translates to other image editing software, since it makes use of a lot of layer styles that I'm not sure exist elsewhere. Sorry D:
