[HELP] Hand-drawn icons

Hello!
I am a bit new in the topic of creating icons. I like the hand-drawn style, this is why I made me some icons for my favourite apps. You can see the items in my Picasa Gallery at http://picasaweb.google.com/110196198576872958715/HandDrawnIcons?authkey=Gv1sRgCJrEjpyc7_2_Gg&feat=directlink or you can download them in JPG with 480x480 in my Dropbox at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14389308/Handdrawn.rar .

I wanna create a theme that looks handmade too. I got no idea how to make those items look good on a background. I would like to use crinkled paper or something as a background. I would really appreciate some help or maybe tipps how to do this.
Thx in advance.

I like the idea!
I have seen something like that for Windows:
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=icons#/d286emb
Here's a wrinkled paper texture that could be used as background.

Maybe lighten it up a little bit, or add a grid.

I used the textuare and some Gimp skills and created a pre-version of the style
I made the icons 110x122 to fit the 1x1 Desktop Virtualiser widget cause I would like it to look like the tiles from WM7. Do you know if I could bring in my own handwriting which I got as a font to make some time or date widgets?

If you've got it as a font, then I think yes.
Also a little suggestion, if you make the icons transparent, then it looks like it's actually on the paper.
What I mean is just have the drawing lines visible, without the white background you used to draw on.

Thank you i been looking all day for nice tiles!Are you taking any request? I seen some very nice custom tiles on the WP7 Launcher show off thread. This launcher has really added some new life to my phone. Thanks again for making these available!

i dont know if i should take requests
im doing it in my free time.
and thats something i also like to spend on people and other things.
so i dont know if requests would be something i do.

Ok well, thank you in advance for whatever you release they are great!

Superb! Gonna use market, opera, dolphin and camera as of now.

Here's a few that I made, I hope that you don't mind me adding to your thread. I'll remove them if that's the case.

MIUI Mod ROM's have almost this exact same look and app drawer scrolls to the sides, iPhone style.
You can find varius flavors of them in the Nexus One Android Development forum here at XDA.

I use ADW EX and it has the option to add something like that.
You can change the color of the box

Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll try em both out. I like that on the Samsung it chooses the color based on the icon. It's more aesthetically pleasing to my eye.
Anymore suggestions are welcome.

You can get the touchwiz launcher here. I'm not sure how up to date it is or if it'll even work with GB but it's only an apk and can be uninstalled easily.

Hybrid VenomSense + AOSP

Hi Guys this is my imagination of hybrid of AOSP+ VenomSense..!
May be themer's and modder's in our community get inspiration from this..
its kind of modified sense
Even I might try some other day to make it reality

}
home screen is sense home with clock but at bottom launcher UI from AOSP (UI ONLY not AOSP launcher it self)
by removing bottom sense icon for all,frequent,downloaded as well as name of search,store,menu from top we can save value-able space and introduce one more row of apps
Quick settings can be scale down both icon and font.It feels very heavy..
may be quicksetting from AOSP ..

So here is a little icon set I made for my latest screenshot. Thought I'd release it.
Nothing too original here, I fell in love with space potato icon pack but thought it might never get released for android phones, so pretty much my own take on some of my favourite icons around. just wanted to do them my way and in a collective icon pack. So all credit goes to original artist designs. Nothings a copy and paste apart from the entypo icons
There's 33 icons and a PSD, I probably won't really make any more as it was just a little thing I did for my home screen but thought I'd share it. People are welcome to use the PSD to make more icons.
Enjoy and download here
I won't be making a themed apk version of this icon pack as I use 360 launcher for my setups.

nice one mate, hope this takes off.... be nice to see peeps contributing to this:good:

Its a shame really you're not continuing this
