Yours looks so much better. xDD

[sailorraspberry]

Hmmm. Maybe it's that my image as lighter colors while yours has darker?

[royalbk]

Maybe. I may just have to find an equivalent of this in Corel as well since I really have problems when it comes to dealing with Adobe.

...I only use that for animation.

*HUGGLES* But you are awesome awesomeness for making this tutorial for me!

I even got the gist of the brush/stroke thingie you taught me. Now to actually make a proper icon! ♥

Aww! This was actually my first tutorial, so I was actually kind of nervous you wouldn't like it. But thank you so much! I'm so glad I could help you out! :D

I've found while playing with this that if I insert a curve layer set to soft light in between the screen layer and the selective color layer, I can get the image to look more like the tutorial.

So you could try that.
