Tutorial - How to make this Callie Icon
This is a tutorial for a challenge at landofart .
Program: Photoshop CS5
Difficulty Level: Easy/Beginners
Textures Used: 2
Pictures Used: 1
Step 1: You can size the image one of two ways. Find the way you do it and use that or do it the way I do.
A) You can crop the original picture above to the way you want it to look and then flatten the image and then move it onto a 100x100 pixel project
OR
B) You can do it my way and open a new project of 100x100 pixels and drag the original image from your file folder onto the project. It'll come out tiny so just resize it to the way you want it to look
This is what mine looked like.
Step 2: This is where you bring in the first texture. It'll be layer 2 once it's dragged onto the project.

As you can see I didn't use the entire texture. First I dragged it to my project and then I resized it to get the effect I wanted.
This is what I ended up with.
Step 3: I left the opacity of layer 2 at 100% but I changed the blending mode to Soft Light.
My project looks like this now. As you can see it's much lighter than it once was before.
Step 4: Texture 2 is now used, it'll occupy Layer 3 once it's dragged onto the picture.

I also resized this one a few times to get the right amount of fiery effect in the bottom right corner of the texture. I ended up with this.
Step 5: I changed the opacity of layer 3 to 60% and the Blending Type is changed to Vivid Light.
Here is the final product.
I hope this has been detailed enough for all of you. :D
