BTNheart

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Hi! This is my first icon, it was made in Gimp. Please tell me what I have done good and what I can still improve. Thanks (for future :P)!

This icon shows heart, you can see some little veins. It has the nasty pink colour which makes the heart look like fresh flesh. It can be used as icon of spell/ability or item.

Sorry for my weak english :(.

Thanks for all comments and the advices (probably my spelling is wrong^_^). I will try do heart again, this time it will look more like a heart (like on the graystuff111 picture) and more bloody! Muaha :P
 
I think the key to making this icon better is what was said 'making is bloody', is actually just using multiple types of red. Right now, you've probably used only 1 light red. Use some darker and mid-red as well. Check if you can find some images of real hearts instead of schematic ones and you'll see there are a lot of different reds there, including veins.
 
I just drew something with brush, black colour. Then I used the smudge tool, and I made the shadows with dodge & burn, and I also used the tool that blure and sharpen (I blure it). Then I made new layer which was red, I did the veins - thats it!
