Hola! Long time, no tutorial, huh? Well, a couple days ago tinebrella mentioned she might like to see a tutorial for this Supernatural icon, and I will kind of do anything for Miss Val so...TUTORIAL TIME!

:D this is awesome

[absolutelybatty]

Thank you! :D

Saaaaaaam, this is awesome!
I especially loved the bit about the Rounded Rectangular Tool. Sometimes I feel that the straight border is too harsh and I never know what to do with it, so I usually end up blurring it or covering it with some textures. This is such a simple and yet creative solution, I'm definitely going to give it a try. <3
Also A+ because of Variations! People need to know about this overlooked tool, it's all kinds of brilliant and can do wonders to the coloring.
Thank you so much for posting this, and in so little time! ♥

YOU ARE MOST WELCOME, MISS VAL! ♥
Variations! Best tool ever! But, yeah, like I said that's basically all I used coloring wise, haha! I don't know what I'd do without it, to be honest!

awesome tutorial. I wish I could work with 200x200 canvases.

[absolutelybatty]

Thank you!
Oh yeah? I'm not sure why I do it. Sometimes it is really annoying. I wish I could just work with 100x100. XD

[fouroux]

it always looks great in 200x200, but when I size it down I lose 98% of detail :c boo.

PERFECTION. I have never done the rounded rectangle thing before but that makes SO MUCH SENSE so thank you for that. :)

Thank you! ♥
Oh really? Well, I hope you have fun playing around with it now! :D

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! This is brilliant!
SO many thanks to Val for asking and so many thanks to you for sharing this beautiful tutorial!
The coloring is awesome and now that I know that it's a Variations work only I'm shocked D:
I'll try this tut for sure (maybe I'll be finally able to make some decent icons after ages!)

And when I'll be able to write a tut like this I'll be definetly a happy girl!
(LOL for the tag :D Val is everywhere)

[absolutelybatty]

Thank you so much; I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Variations is like my dirty little secret. So many things are made using that wonderful tool, I can't even. Haha!

VAL IS EVERYWHERE! It's great, right?! :D

[memonechan]

LOL, since I'm on LJ thanks to Val I have to say LUCKY ME! VAL IS EVERYWHERE! :D
