That's it! How simple is that?! I hope you enjoy my 34th colouring; remember to credit if you use and I would like to see your results. Now, as promised, here are the icons I made with this tut, along with the original signature picture I made for my siggy at Unexpected Song:

((If you must know, I got the "ANT" bit from the Phantom of the Opera backdrop he was standing in front of during that interview; I merely enhanced the colour and positioned it a bit more evenly. And if you want to know what the tiny text says, it's "Anywhere you go let me go too, that's all I ask of you".
