Difficulty: Easy
Uses: Color fill layers
PSD: No
Step 1:
Grab your base image. Crop sharpen etc to prepare it. I’m using Madison Bumgarner.
Create a new layer and fill it with #ffcbd8 and set it to Darken only.
You can play around with the opacity if it’s too harsh for you, usually I lower it around the 65-80% range, but since the jersey in the picture is really bright I lowered it to 40%
Product:
As you notice, it should only color the jersey and nothing else. If it colors something else feel free to erase it or leave it (:
Optional Step!
Now that we have our colored jersey, time to color the picture up a bit, right?
I usually have a blue tone to my icons since I’m sort of obsessed with it right now.
Back to the tutorial.
Create a new layer and fill it with #00083a, it’s a dark blue color. Set it to screen, duplicate it twice, setting the top layer to subtract.
You can leave it like this, but since Bumgarner in my icon looks a bit washed out, I duplicate the untouched base, brought it to the top and set it to overlay
And you're done!
