We are going to try the colouring of this icon by princessbloomy. that was requested by davyjonessays in coloring_help
Thiscolouring might not work for all kind of images,and you will have to change a lot of the settings
>
1. The image is too bright,so we need to make it darker.
Levels
110,0.35,255
>
2. Hue sat
Master:
Saturation: +25
That was because the image needed a little more of saturation.
The next layer is going to make the icon a little,just a little blue.
>
3. New Layer: fill with #4ee0fb set to multiply at 15%
The next two steps are going to make it brighter and with more contrast,as well as give the skin a stronger color.
>
4. Duplicate your base,drag it to the top and set it to overlay at 100%
>
5. New layer, fill with f#6c792 set to burn at 50%
>
6. New layer, fill with #663705,set your layer to screen at 15% ,and then duplicate it and set it to substract at 30%
(If Im not wrong for Photoshop users you should use only one layer and set it to exclusion at 30%)
The original icon is a little more bright so we need to fix that:
>
7.Duplicate your base drag it to the top and set it to screen at 35%
Merge Down (ctrl + m)
It looks a lot like the original now,but the bright areas,in this case the cheeks,are too yellow:

8.Color Balance
MIDTONES

hIGHTLIGHTS

Extra:
