Step oo1;;
Find the base ya want and then slap it onto a 100 x 100 document. I chose a screencap from Ayumi Hamasaki's "momentum" music video.

Step oo2;;
Since I was listening to "Angel's Song" (Also by Ayu) during the time, I wanted to put angel wings on her.
(Note, for the directions below: In order to make that image into a brush, go to Edit-->Define Brush. You can then change the color when brushing.)
Using THIS brush, first I resized, then I tilted the wing (Edit-->Transform-->Flip Horizontal) and then rotated it slightly to make it look more "natural." (Press CTRL + T to freely rotate.)

Step oo3;;
Make a new layer and fill it with the color F7941D.
Set to SOFT LIGHT at 46%.

Step oo4;;
Here comes the selective coloring! In case you don't know where it is, refer to THIS image to assist!
The selective coloring window looks like THIS.

Basically, all you're doing for this particular tutorial is just plugging in numbers. If you choose to use selective coloring on your own, you can see the different results by playing with the numbers, or with the sliders.
Simply put in the numbers for the specific color. (As you can tell in the above screenshot, there's a drop-down list that shows colors like Red, Yellow, etc. We will only need to deal with a few of them.)

For the RED:
Cyan: -89
Magenta: +14
Yellow: +68
Black: +16

For the YELLOW:
Cyan: +100
Magenta: +16
Yellow: +100
Black: +18

For the BLUE:
Cyan: +44
Magenta: +3
Yellow: 0
Black: 0

For the MAGENTA:
Cyan: -100
Magenta: +100
Yellow: +85
Black: +21

For the NEUTRAL:
Cyan: +42
Magenta: +40
Yellow: -15
Black: -12

Click THIS to see what's happened.

Step oo5;;
Next, we'll move on to Brightness/Contrast. Refer to THIS image to locate it.
The Brightness/Contrast window looks like THIS.

Input the following:
BRIGHTNESS:: -4
CONTRAST:: +20

Click THIS to see what's happened.

Step oo6;;
Add a brush similar to THIS. (Well, erase everything but the borders, really.) Put it near the bottom. :D

Click THIS to see what's happened.

Step oo7;;
Finally, add some text onto the icon for a finishing touch. I used Garamond in A5A8D2, and wrote the text, "ANGEL'S SONG". (Like I said, inspired by the song.)

Annnnnd you're done! |D;; Hope this was easy enough. ^^;
