Find out how to make this icon



Comments will be most greatly appreciated and welcomed.

I start off using this picture and we crop and resize. And we get our base.



Now that we have our base, we duplicate it and set to Soft Light Opacity 100%.


to

Create a New Raster Layer and fill it with #FDEDD5, set to Burn Opacity 100%.


to

Now the icon looks too yellowish, so create another New Raster Layer and fill it with #010229 and set to Exclusion Opacity 100%.


to

Now that we effectively neutralized the strong yellow color, the icon doesn't look alive. So let's create another New Raster Layer and fill it with #000080 and set to Exclusion Opacity 20%.


to

Right, so now I duplicate this layer (the strong blueish one, in the previous step) and set it to Burn Opacity 6%.


to

Create another New Raster Layer, and fill it with a light pink color like this #FFC0C0 set to Burn Opacity 26%.


to

The icon looks too dark now, so go back to your base and duplicate it and set to Screen Opacity 54%


to

Go back to your top layer and creater a New Raster Layer and fill it with #C000C0 set to Soft Light Opacity 16%.


to

Right Click on your icon and select Copy Merged or go to Edit>Copy Merged, then right click and Paste>Paste as New Layer. Set that to Soft Light Opacity 22%


to

and Voìla your icon is done.
