I have found that the quality of my source image has a huge effect on how my icons come out. In fact, if you have ever struggled with coloring an icon, I bet you that 9 times out of 10, the issue isn't your coloring as much as it is your screencap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this tutorial, I'll show you the difference between high definition and low definition screencaps, and how it affects your results even when you're working at the small size of 100x100.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is an example of the difference you can expect in your icons by following the tips in this tutorial:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;gap:5px;font-size:20pt;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://telenove.la/tutorial/img/screencapquality-bix-ld-icon4.png"&gt; &amp;rarr; &lt;img src="https://telenove.la/tutorial/img/screencapquality-bix-hd-icon4.png"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://telenovela.dreamwidth.org/2192.html#cutid1"&gt;Let's get into it!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=telenovela&amp;ditemid=2192" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
