A few more tweeks and we have one more Icon.

| Icon 18 (Network Drive - Offline) Today's icon is pretty much the same as yesterdays icon but with some tweaks. I almost included it with yesterdays icon, but there is a bit more work to it than I had thought, so I decided it was worthy of its own day. |

| Step 1:
First thing we do is copy our Network Drive icon from yesterday. .jpg) |
Step 2: I move the cord out of the way, and Convert the globe to one bitmap. Then I make it slightly Transparent. I will tweak this later. .jpg) |
Step 3: Now I move my globe out of the way, and with the Mesh tool I add some length to the cord, and bring it around to the back of the drive. .jpg) |
| Step 4: With my Mesh Tool I polish up the cord and pull a drop shadow off of it. I want the cord to look like it is missing the globe. .jpg) |
Step 5 I Crop and Fade the shadow and cord so they do not run out of our guide box. I move our globe back in position and adjust the Transparency until I can see the cord through it. I bring back our plug from the other icon and make its center blue instead of red. .jpg) |

That finishes up the Default Hard Drive icons in our
pack. We still might do some more as bonus icons, but that will be
later. |
