I just spent 30 minutes yesterday trying to find your last post of these, unsuccessfully. Woke up to find this at the top of DN. Awesome timing, thanks for sharing Marc!

I did it for you. <3

This is such a great idea! Perfect example of pushing yourself to continually improve yourself. <3
Artificial constraints FTW. The pressure is on when recording. It’s like designing with someone watching over your shoulder.

Awesome. Downloaded the album for when imgur runs out of cash. Super helpful Marc!
I hope they don’t. I have a lot of stuff there.
Joe Blau, over 6 years ago The touch ID one is crazy!

Do you have some Illustrator tutorials that can make me work "like" you..
I don’t have any video tutorials, but I might make some in the future. I’ve written lots of articles that might be of interest: https://bjango.com/articles/
This one in particular is on icon design: https://bjango.com/articles/icondesignworkflow/
I’m hoping to write some articles covering some of the speed run icons, going through each step.

That's fun! I used to do that with stuff like this:
... which got me pretty good at Photoshop and Photoshop vectoring... not so much at software that's actually made for vector editing!
I think I might give this a go too :)
Awesome. Please do! It‘s tons of fun.
Over the past few months, I’ve been challenging myself to find the quickest way to create some common and not so common icons. All the icon speed runs I’ve created so far are in this Imgur album as GIFs.
Many of the GIFs have notes about the techniques used, but feel free to ask me anything about them. I also plan to write up some of the more complex icons as separate articles, if I get some spare time.
I’m up to 56 images in that album. Hoping to get to 100 at least.
