Tutorial #18
1. This is a simple colouring tutorial using 2 Prison Break caps: Michael & Sara.
2. Drag both caps into the icon and transform to around 9% of their original size.
Crop Michael to the bottom, and Sara over top. Flip Sara's layer horizontally.

3. Use the Healing Brush Tool to remove the logo from Sara's hair.
Now we have our base.

4. Duplicate base and set to Screen 50% opacity.
5. Fill layer with #001C3A and set to Exclusion 30% opacity.
6. Fill layer with #E2A5A0 and set to Overlay 30% opacity.
7. Fill layer with #8BE0FD and set to Soft Light 60% opacity.
8. Fill layer with #C9DBEB and set to Color Burn 60% opacity.
9. Fill layer with #CAAD98 and set to Overlay 30% opacity.
10. Fill layer with #E9AF6A and set to Soft Light 60% opacity.
11. Duplicate base. Bring to top and set to Soft Light 100% opacity.
12. Go to Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Hue/Saturation.
Adjust Saturation settings accordingly:
Master +28
Yellows -54
13. Go to Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Brightness/Contrast.
Adjust Contrast settings to +7.
14. Fill layer with #CAAD98 and set to Soft Light 65% opacity.
15. Fill layer with #53BBE1 and set to Saturation 10% opacity.
16. Fill layer with #2A0606 and set to Exclusion 80% opacity.
17. Stamp a new layer (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E) and set to Soft Light 60% opacity.
18. Stamp a new layer (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E) and Sharpen 50% opacity.
19. Paste gradient by talkofcake and set to Soft Light 90% opacity.
Rotate gradient 90 degrees to the left.
~~>
~~>
20. Paste white blob (of doom) by desiderio and set to Screen 48% opacity.
Nudge blob horizontally to the right.
~~>
21. One final step. The green line above Sara's shoulder bothered me, so I used the Smudge Tool and smudged the green to the left (and thus out of the icon). Now, it's all one dark colour above her shoulder.
~~>
And, we're done!
