Photoshop 7 Tutorial; Selective Color
First of all, I apologize for the lengthiness of this tutorial. I haven't made a tutorial (or a post for that matter) since October because my icon creativity went down the drain there for awhile. x.X;; This icon turned out surprisingly nice though so I was inspired to do a tutorial. :D You don't have to follow it word for word. You may find that your icon is good enough for you not even halfway through the darn thing. It's just a guide. ;)
001 Duplicate base. Set to screen at %100 opacity. Duplicate base layer again and set to soft light at %50 opacity. Flattern layers.
002 Create a new layer. Fill with #010120 and set to exclusion at %100 opacity.
003 Create a new layer. Fill with #0B6302 and set to soft light at %100 opacity.
004 Create a new layer. Fill with #F2D2EF and set to soft light at %100 opacity.
005 Create a new layer. Fill with #D2EEF3 and set to soft light at %100 opacity.
006 Duplicate base layer, drag to top and set to soft light at %100 opacity.
007 Go to Layer >>> New Layer Adjustment >>> Selective Color. Use the following settings:
Red
Yellow
Cyans
Blue
Magenta
Whites
Neutrals
Blacks
008 Add a new layer, place this texture {made by:
cdg} there and drag the layer underneath the selective color layer. Set to linear burn at 100% opacity and erase texture on and/or around face if needed.
009 Add a new layer, place this texture {made by:
_iconographer} there and set to softlight at %100 opacity.
010 Add a new layer, place this texture {made by:
dearest} there and set to multiply at %30 opacity.
011 Add this texture {made by:
heygingersnap} in a new layer and set to screen at 100% opacity.
012 If needed, flatten the image and go to Image >>> Adjustments >>> Hue/Saturation and increase the hue just a little bit to bring out the colors more.
