Tutorial #7  
Finally I made another Tutorial... I made some Icons I thought were worth a Tutorial but I couldn't get my lazy ass up to actually write them ;D
But anyway... here is one:

from to

Starting with your base.
Make a new layer and add a texture that fits - it has to cover the parts of your Icon that are not that important. So basically cover what you think can be covered ;D - erase the rest.
I added one by [info]inxsomniax and set it to HARD LIGHT

Then I dublicated the base and set it on top. But now erase the background (the white part is erased) and set it to SOFT LIGHT

So Amber looks brighter now :-D

Then I added another texture - this time by [info]colorfilter and erased the part covering Ambers face, hair and body.
Set it to LINEAR BURN and lower the opacity to 65%
I added another texture by [info]colorfilter - this time a light texture and set it to SCREEN
Then I added a lovely brush by arisubox (color: fdd0cf) and set it to COLOR DODGE
  And at the end I simply wrote "Amber" (Font: Century Gothic) in the same color as the brush and also set it to COLOR DODGE

And that's it!

Love to see your results.
Ask if you didn't understand anything (I'm still german ^^)!

Comments are love 'cause I actually don't know if this will help anyone (or if any of my Tutorial does - although I already got some great replies with lovely Icons :-D) Don't forget: it feeds the muse ^-^

hi i know your tutorial is already so easy. but i seem to be lost on the part where you changed the brush to another color and set it to color dodge. im kinda bad at this. sorry. help? please.
sheepy: Maria Mena - shy[info]sheepy_hollow on September 11th, 2006 01:38 pm (UTC)
Ok I think I understand your problem: see, the brush is taken from a brush-set by [info]arisubox and so I was able to use another color.
So simply make a new layer, choose the color you want and use the brush and then you set the layer to "Color Doge" (like you set the one before to Soft Light)
(the set can be found here)

I hope I could help... if not just ask again ^^
