So, we're gonna learn how to make this icon
from this base
I took a picture of Maggie Grace from
www.lost-media.com, cropped it and moved it around etc...and got this:
1. Duplicate your base once and set the duplicated later on screen, opacity 100%. Duplicate that duplicated layer and set it on Overlay (or Hard Light) opacity 100%.
Merge all.
2. So now, Maggie’s face looks a bit too bright so we’re gonna erase softly the duplicated layer (the one set on screen) around Maggie’s face. Then, I used the texture below from
uglypricetag and set it on Overlay 100%.
Erase all around Maggie’s face and body and you should get this:
3. Use this other texture from
wash_when_dirty and set it on Multiply, opacity 100%. Erase only over Maggie’s body this time so it doesn’t look too pink.
4. Finally, use this gradient found on
www.absolutetrouble.com and set it on Overlay 90%. Use a brush you like or write text and Voila, you're done!
