any appreciated!

whut . . .

 

 

 

dude, what talking about??? letterpressed . . ?

 

that's tiny little 24px x 24px icon made in photoshop, using pencil tool. super simple. nothing complicated going on here. manual pixel placement. if you're not accustomed "pixel art" degree creating icons modelled after posted image may feel awkward.

 

you can this, it's easy. yes, photoshop need this, not illy. @ most, there may 1px vertical drop shadow applied generate emboss highlight @ bottom, if indicate graphic engraved surface.

 

holler if have further questionations. i'll try remain calm.
