OMFG; an easy tutorial
We'll be making this
today.
-->
1) We start with this very bland and boring base. Since it's a Harry Potter screencap it's of course uber dark. So I duplicated it two times on screen and one on soft light. But how many layers you have and the opacities will depend on what your base is. So once it looks good to you, move on. And of course you might wanna sharpen it.
-->
2) Now create another layer and fill it with #000627, set it on exclusion at 75% opacity. Then create another layer and fill with #c2f7ff, set it on color burn at 100%. Once again, create another layer and fill it with #ffe0ae, set to darken at 100% opacity.
-->
3) Now create a new layer and get out a soft brush, whatever size you want. Take #ff002a and put the brush anywhere you would like text later on. Set this layer to screen. Now, put some text on if you want. Set it to soft light. If it doesn't show up good, you should try duplicating it to make it darker. I also added some small dot brushes for added effect.
-->
4) Now paste on this gradient and set it on multiply at 100% opacity.
And now you're done. If you have any questions, please ask. I'd love to hear your feedback and see what you've made.
