Icon for a guitar learning app.The metaphor was selected by the client himself.Initially, I suggested to use a chalkboard, which, I thought, would show the concept of 'learning' in a nice way.But the client thought that a pencil sketch on paper would look better.
Personally, I found the paper-sketch idea interesting and thought to give it a unique look.I am quite happy with the outcome so far.
While working on the icon, I learned something new.Instead of creating three different sections for the red part, I used a single layer with a rather complex gradient.Used the same technique for the white stripe and the blue end.
Don't forget to check the full view.Suggestions will be appreciated.

How was the sketch part created?
Did you use a wacom?

Looks great for a 512, I'm interested to see how the details hold up with the smaller sizes.

The pencil details are really good Asher, it looks like the sharp pencil has just drawn the shape of the guitar. This is a great touch. Big up.

I've used the gradient method you mentioned before, but I've had trouble when I cannot rotate the gradient (in the layer styles) to the shape's slope. Yeah, you can make a layer of the gradient, but then it's harder to edit. Same with smart objects. :/ It works great if you want the lighting to show on more surface angles than it would otherwise, though, as you did. ^^

The crispness of this is excellent.

Thanks for sharing the gradient tip. I'm always in favor of compacting as many layers as possible.
