This tutorial was requested by _ensoleille for this icon:





  • Cap originally from Lost Media.

  • All layers are 100% unless stated otherwise.


  • So I rotate the cap slightly to the left, and crop a perfect square. This is what I've got.



    Duplicate the layer, set it to Screen. Grab a dark blue colour, I took #000040. Create an Exclusion layer and duplicate. Make three new dups of the bottom layer and drag them over the Exclusion layers. Set the lower one to Screen 54%, the middle to Soft Light and the top one to Overlay.

    This is what I have now.



    For the final piece of colouring, I add a new Curves Adjustment Layer with the following settings:

    RGB: No editing.
    Red: No editing.
    Green: No editing.
    Blue: Input-138 Output 116

    It looks more yellow now, right?

    Yeah so resize it to 100x100 px and sharpen. If you want to, take a circular brush with low Hardness and add a little blob of light somewhere near her neck.

    Voilà!

    What we wanted:



    What we got:



    Pretty close, right? I hope this tutorial was helpful to everyone and if anyone has any questions, please go ahead and ask them! :D
