Tutorial 02

[iconetra]

This time we will be coloring and making a pretty nature icon, but I guess that you could use this coloring for any other icon as well =] We are making this icon in PSP8, but it should be easily translatable to any other version of Photoshop or PSP.

Dial up users may want to be careful, it's not image heavy but incase you wanted to be on the safe

Hey, im new to all this, and when you say fill it with a certain colour, how do you do that, it turns the whole thing green!

[iconetra]

In PSP, You make a new raster layer by going to layers > new raster layer. Then,select a color then using your paint bucket tool to fill it in. After that you can change the opacity (using the bar) and change the layer modes (like normal, color, color (L), saturation, lighten, burn etc). :)

I'm obsessed with that brush from your first tut. So I followed some of the steps from here [changing the green layer to a light peach color] and then grabbed that boarder brush from your first tut.

Original base i made:

Wow! I love that icon to bits! Interesting effect, I love how you didnt use just a white background (the original picture). The colors are fabulous and I love how you made the pink from the dress a little redder, so it stands out more =]
