Requested by _skywalkergirl_.

From this to
.

*USING PSP8*



PLEASE DON'T COPY THIS ICON, USE THESE STEPS TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT IS YOUR OWN; THAT'S MAKES IT MORE FUN, ANYWAY :)

- Take this image from Emmy Rossum Fan and crop it down to a 100x100 base. Do an Unsharp Mask using [THESE SETTINGS]



- Take the regular ol' paint brush tool next, created a new layer and colored the area over her shoulder black (#000000) then set that layer to Normal, 36. I duplicated that layer and set it to Hue, 56 (NOTE: Depending on your image, this may be completely unneccessary)


>

MERGE THE LAYERS.

- Duplicate the newly mereged base layer twice. Set the middle one to Multiply, 50 and the second to Soft Light, 100.



- Take this light texture by ?, invert it and desaturate it. Set it in between the Multiply and Soft Light layers and set it to Lighten, 100. [MY LAYERS]. Now, take the Eraser Tool and erase the parts of the texture that are covering the face.


>

- Create a new layer, select the Flood Fill tool and select this gradient by crumblingwalls. Set it to Soft Light, 100 and erase the parts over the face.


>

MERGE THE LAYERS.

- Take the Soften Tool on a LOW opacity (mine's set to 35%) and go over the face; avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils, etc. Then take the Sharpen Tool also on a low opacity (mine's set at 30%) and go over the lips ad eyes.



- Next, I created a border on the left side of the icon in black:

Added tiny text in white:

And you're done :)

**Opacities for layers may vary depending upon your image; don't be afraid to experiment!**

I hope this helps someone!
