take a picture. crop it. this is gonna be your base.
i used a picture from lost-media.com
01
dublicate your base. set it to screen. lower the opacity (mine was 71% but that depends on your base)
02
layer >> new adjustment layer >> selective color
reds:
-100/+16/+100/0
yellows:
-47/0/-31/-22
neutrals:
17/-11/-18/-18
03
duplicate the selective color layer. (you might need to lower the opacity. on this picture i didn't have to)
04
layer >> new adjustment layer >> selective color
(opacity with my base was 45%)
reds:
-70/-30/-27/22
yellow:
-60/-27/-27/-27
neutrals:
-16/-4/21/3
05
last but not least.
a new layer. fill it with yellow (#FFF006) set it to soft light and lower the opacity (mine was 9%)
06
and now you can add whatever you want.
i added a texture by loveicon
et voilà
with slightly different settings (changing the opacities etc.) i also came up with the following:
from

that's it!
you can of course add some text, a nice texture, some brushes or whatever you want ;)
my icon turned out weird. what can i change?
every picture is different so you won't be able to copy this tutorial exactly.
if you don't like your outcome try the following things;
the icon is too bright/dark
add another screen-layer (or reduce the opacity of the first one)
the icon has too much contrast
leave out the last step.
the coloring is too bluish/redish
leave away one of the selective colorings or the first curves-layer (or just play with the numbers)
the coloring still looks like something is missing
try another selective color/curves-layer
add a color-filled layer (e.g. light blue on color burn or light pink on soft light.
etc.
other examples made with (almost) the same technique
from
to
i used this picture;
from jennifer morrison online
and now step by step:
#0: crop it
#1: add a darkblue layer
(# 01051C) set it to exclusion (100%)
#2: add a lightblue layer
(# C9F9FD) set it to color burn (100%)
now my picture looks like this:
after #4 it is going to look like this:
#3: here comes the "tricky" part (i'm not quite sure if the english names are correct, because i use a german verion...)
Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Hue/Saturation
standard(?): saturation; +50 looks like this
reds: saturation; +30 looks like this
yellows: saturation; -75 looks like this
greens: +33 looks like this
cyans: +33 looks like this
leave the rest.
these numbers depend a lot on your picture, so play with them.
#4: add an intensive lightblue layer
(# 8BE0FD) set to soft light (60%)
#5: add a pink layer
(# E2A5A0) set to overlay (100%)
#6: copy your base to the top and set it to soft light. play with the opacity (i used 80%)
that's it.
now i only added this mask
by ewanism
and i added some text (violation, size 18, # 0054BC).
