I made some more :3 unfinished so far. The pencil is more like an 'add on' that I could stick on other icons (like the wand, see the attachment). I've changed some of the other icons to make the whole set more consistent.
Feedback is welcome, the screen is relatively unfinished... and I'm unsure about the shadows on the other icons, too... I think they might be "wrong" :S...
The only thing I can see is that the pencil line is wobbly. I know you might have done that to make it look more realistic but does it look any cleaner when it's a perfect curve? Still looks great though ;D
Map struck me as most awesome, and the box could perhaps need a little more depth (contrast between the two faces, shading, don't know) though I love its current subtle subtleness, texture and lighting!
Thanks @Markus & Louis - I'll try adding a bit more depth, as you put it :) We'll see how it looks :D
I added both because I thought it needed something at the top... without it the icon looks a little empty. I'll show you what I mean when I'm at my desk (and can open the psd :p).
The TV looks like it has a bevel around the bezel, and it's a little awkward looking. The stem part of the stand looks pretty flat, though the base looks pretty good.
The maps icon shows a little more definition than I think is necessary on the streets. Perhaps you could tone down the strokes and highlights.
The box looks like it could use better contrast overall. I'd make the front of the box a little darker to contrast with the top of the box. I'd also love to see a sharp pixel line on the top of the box, through the tape. The edges of the box looks too sharp, especially on the top edges.
Regarding the pencil icon, I'd smooth out the line being drawn, and perhaps replace the fading with line weight differences instead.
I made four more icons :) The shadows are shit, I'll sort them out later. I think I'll just keep making these till I have a good number, then maybe sell them or something. More to come soon!
btw photographs used on the top left icon are by Gabriella

@Michael - to be honest I didn't give it much thought, I just drew it with my wacom and thought it looked good haha. I'll try a cleaner line :3

I am in love with the tall map icon. You never see that sort of treatment and it just looks so sharp and clean.

Love the style here, the lighting is very cool. Map icon seems a little busy to me. Do you really need a pin and a location indicator?
Pencil is my favorite.
