Find out how to make this icon



Comments will be most greatly appreciated and welcomed.

As per request by pearlsphere


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

Right away, I recognize that it's too dark so I go back to our base and duplicate it and set it to Screen Opacity 58%


to

Go back to your top layer and create a New Raster Layer and fill it with #FFC0C0 set to Burn Opacity 54%.


to

Duplicate the layer (this pinkish one) and set to Multiply Opacity 56%.


to

Create a New Raster Layer and fill it with #FAE7D0, set to Burn 14%.


to

Go back to your Soft Light Layer, should be your third one, duplicate it and drag it to the top. Now go Adjust>Hue and Saturation>Hue/Saturation/Lightness and make sure the settings are like this Edit: Master Hue: 180 Saturation:0 Lightness: 0 so it should look like
this. Now that we've desaturated this layer, don't do anything else don't change the opacity, leave it at 100%.


to

Duplicate the previous layer we were working with (the desaturated one), only changed the Opacity to 50%


to

Right click on your icon and select Copy Merge or you can go to Edit>Copy Merge and then right click again and select Paste>Paste As New Layer. Now select your Soften Brush and carefully use it to soften Katies face.


to

Go back to your second desaturated layer (the 50% opacity one) and duplicated and drag it to the top but change the opacity to 18%.


to

Go to your Screen Layer (should be the second one) duplicate and drag to the top, change opacity to 16%.


to

and Voìla your icon is done.
