that's it!
you can of course add some text, a nice texture, some brushes or whatever you want ;)
my icon turned out weird. what can i change?
every picture is different so you won't be able to copy this tutorial exactly.
if you don't like your outcome try the following things;
the icon is too bright/dark
add another screen-layer (or reduce the opacity of the first one)
the icon has too much contrast
leave out the last step.
the coloring is too bluish/redish
leave away one of the selective colorings or the first curves-layer (or just play with the numbers)
the coloring still looks like something is missing
try another selective color/curves-layer
add a color-filled layer (e.g. light blue on color burn or light pink on soft light.
etc.
[x] don't copy exactly
[x] i'd love to see what you come up with
[x] feel free to friend or join pineapple_icons
[x] feel free to ask for a tutorial for another icon (i won't promis anything but i'll try!)
other examples made with (almost) the same technique
