Icon Tutorial: Allison Cameron
We'll be making this:
from this.This was made in PSP 8 but I'm sure it can be translated :)
1. Crop and resize the picture to 100x100. Duplicate the layer, desaturate (ctrl+h) and set the layer to screen. Merge layers. Sharpen.
Duplicate the layer again and desaturate again. Set to screen. You should have something like this:
It's too pale now, but it will get fixed ;)
2. Paste this gradient onto your image. Set it to burn at 66%.
Make a new layer. Set it to exclusion and fill it with #0B3547. Duplicate and set the top layer to soft light, 70%.
Make a new layer. Set it to burn and fill it with #D0C4AA set to 62%. Merge all layers.
You should have this:
3. Paste this gradient by
__rockmonkey__ and set it to multiply, 62%
Duplicate the base layer (in this case Cameron) and drag it to the top. Set to soft light, 100%. You should have this:
4. Paste this texture by
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
dearest and mirror it. Set it to soft light 100% and erase any parts covering Cameron.
Use random brushes on a new layer (I don't know which ones I used, I just went mad lol) set to normal at 26%. Again, erase anything covering Cameron. You should have this:
(^ this isn't actually what I got, I kinda forgot to save this stage so I had to quickly redo it so it's not exactly the same)
5. Type some stuff (anything literally) at size 1, Georgia, white and position it where you like. Then take a random cross brush (I used one by
dearest because, well, she rules) and, in white, position it next to the teeny text.Merge everything and you're done!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and comments on the tutorial are appreciated :) I'd love to see what you come up with!
