chris brown tutorial!
get this colouring in six or seven easy steps (:
-->
* used photoshop
* includes colour balance
* should be translatable
1. prepare your base as needed (if you need to sharpen, it can wait...you'll see!)
2. make a new adjustment layer of colour balance:
>> midtones: +22, +24, +38
>> highlights: +4, -4, -22
3. duplicate your base, drag it to the top and set to soft light 40% now, if you need to sharpen, use this layer to apply it. you can do it once or twice depending on your icon's original sharpness.
4. make a new layer, fill with brown #361C00 and set to exclusion 38%
5. make a new layer, fill with fuchsia #BD039C and set to exclusion 18%
6. make a new layer, fill with light blue/purple #AEAEF8 and set to colour burn 14%
** optional: paste this vignette prepared by me and set to soft light 40% (used in first and last icons) **
that's it!
here are my results with other icons:
well, i'd be glad to see your results/comments/questions here!
