The making of icons

When I started this icon that I knew was gonna take a damn long time to finish, thought I'd take screenshots of some of the steps in between and turn it into sort of a tutorial.

(note, instead of using pictures you can offcourse also use drawings you made, I just suck at drawing so I used a pic)

If you don't know how to use the pen tool (shame on you) :

Didn't personally check them out yet but it looks good.

Will probably write more detailed steps if some people are interested in creating icons, and with some more pictures, this might be kinda vague.

What program do you use to save them as .ico files?

Don't really know what programs they use for it.
This isn't an .ico file, it's just a tiny picture(icon) to use on a website.

I think Microangelo has some compatibility with Photoshop.
