Open base image
Duplicate the layer
Go to image >> adjustments >> desaturate
Go to layer >> layer mask >> reveal all
Go to layer >> New adjustment layer >> brightness/contrast >> brightness 20 >> Contrast 33
(This will vary acording to what your origional image is like)
Select a soft tip brush >> size 60 >> opacity %100 >> flow %25
Click on the mask and erase some of it so that the face and hands show through
(You could stop here as it is quite a nice icon as it is now, or you can continue)
