First Icon Tutorial
Made in psp 9, no curves involved, just 7 easy steps =) (yeejjh!)
Go from
To
this.
Step 1:
Crop your base and if needed sharpen your base once. I did sharpen my base, though i did it on the end so i could see if it was really necessary.
Step 2:
Duplicate your base and set layer to softlight 100%
Step 3:
Then make a new layer and fill it with color #011a33. Set this layer to exclusion 100%
Step 4:
Again, make a new layer and fill it with color #fef8e6 . This time set layer to multiply 100%
Step 5:
Make yet another layer and fill it with color #eff887. Set this layer to softlight around 20%
Step 6:
Make a new adjustment layer :hue - saturation - lightness
At reds fill:
Hue -->0
Saturation --> 23
Lightness --> 0
At Cyans fill:
Hue --> 0
Saturation --> 29
Lightness --> -29
Step 7
Just add some text, textures or brushes or whatever you like. I added some text in Georgia 6pt and used a lighttexture which I have set on screen for about 74%
This is my result:
Hope you guys find this tut a little bit useful =)
