Full PS icon tutorial
A tutorial for this icon:
ok this will be a bit strange tutorial, since i won't be explaining the
whole adding a border thing, but just give you the border itself....k?
also im not allowed to share the brush used in this icon, so you'll
have to use something else... :) hope you don't mind
here's my picture (no idea where it's from)
ok, so i cropped it, and then i had this weird "E II" thing written.... i don't remember what i did but here's my base:
as i wasn't really pleased with how the thing turned out i decided to
experiment a bit and add a HUGE border for a change (all my borders
were thin)
so after a few mins of trying to work it out i got this border (on black back so you can see it)
--->
after this covering up of the thing that needed to be covered up (lack of words) i added a new exclusion layer, #002157, 50%
added a gradient, set to lighten, 45%
--->
another gradient, set to multiply 50%
--->
i just love the effect that this gradient does!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
then i added that brush i was talking about...it's by inxsomniax and it's for hgx members only :)
then some small text....it's actually just some stupid jibberish in bosnian....
and then to get that awesome effect, added a light texture by bombayicons set to screen 100%
--->
and theres' your icon...
i made this icon using the exact same technique:
