Another Tutorial + Translatable!!
Yes, a transtaltable tutorial! I really like how it turned out, though! I hope you do too!
We'll be making this:
1 Take this texture (by me) and paste it on a new 100 x 100 canvas.
2 Now open whatever icon you'll be using. If you want to follow along with mine, here it is:
3 Now click on the marquee tool. And on the tool bar options, click on the drop-down menu for the style. Pick fixed size. Next to that. You'll see the dimensions. Put in 50 x 50.
4 Now click anywhere in your icon. A square of running ants will appear. Now click and hold inside the box and drag to where you want. Happy? Edit >> Copy
5 Now go back to your texture canvas. Edit >> Paste. Move it to the right. Or wherever you want. But I put it to the right.
6Make a new layer. Don't change the blend mode. Keep it at normal. Make sure this new layer is under the icon picture you just pasted. So in the layer's pallette. You have to drag the new layer under the angelina pic.
7 Grab the marquee tool. Change the style to Normal (not fixed size!!) And with the tool. You are going to place it like this cross:
Now drag it like this:
see the running ants??
8 Take the fill tool and fill the running ants square with the color of your choice. I chose #7FB529 Please remember that your filling the square on the new layer.
9 Go back to your picture. There should be no running ants. Now resize the picture to 50 x 50. If it needs sharpening go to Filter >> Sharpen >> Sharpen.
10 Grab your marquee tool. Set the style to fixed size. Dimensions: 20 x 20. Click, move, and copy.
11 Back to the icon. Paste the small angelina pic 3 times. Move them all to the left (according to this tutorial). Now merge down the 3 pics (CTRL +E). Desaturate them (CTRL + SHIFT + U)
12 Now make another new layer. UNDER THE 3 PICS LAYER! Grab the marquee tool and set the style to normal. Make this on the new layer:
13 Grab the Fill tool. Fill with the color of your choice. I chose a very light grey. (#CFCFCF)
Final Touches!
14 Take this tiny text brush by me:
and paste it wherever you want.
Done! I then used the font 'Angelina' to write the A
Enjoy!! I would love to see some results!
