Tutorial 01: Aladdin icon
My very first tutorial. Lots of people requested a tutorial from my Aladdin batch, so here it finally is. Let me know what you think about it, I would love some feedback!
>
[x] first, I cropped this screencap by adolwyn to 100 x 100 base.
[x] after cropping it, I went to Adjust > Sharpness > Unsharp Mask. my settings were:
Radius: 4.00 Strength: 50 Clipping: 0
[x] once I sharpened my icon I duplicated the base layer and set it to screen 100. Duplicate the Layer.
[x] next I went into Adjust > Hue/Saturation > Hue/Saturation/Lightness. I set the Saturation to 20. After that I went to Edit > Copy Merged and then Edit > Paste > Paste as New Layer. Set the new layer to Soft Light 100 and desaturate it.
[x] underneath the soft light layer create a New Raster Layer. Fill it with #0A0A6E and set it to Exclusion 100.
>
[x] above the new exclusion layer I created another New Raster Layer. Fill it with #94D6FC and set it to Burn 70.
>
[x] above the burn layer I created another New Raster Layer. Fill it with #FECF74 and set it to Multiply 100.
>
[x] above the soft light layer I created another New Raster Layer. I decided to add some text. I used Georgia, Size: 6, Bold, Italics and a text brush.
>
[x] Merge all the Layers and there you have it! This style will probably only look good with animated icons but hopefully it'll help some of you out. If you have any questions just ask! :)
