First tutorial.

Holy carp, did I just write out a tutorial? Looks like I did. Well's its pretty simple, just showing how to make an icon like this:



Edit: Due to loss of certain textures uploaded on my Photobucket account, the usage of said texture may be the accurate ones. Sorry about that!


1. Place this texture onto your base.

2. Slap another one on, setting it to Colour Burn at 39%.

3. Solid colour layer: #135384 at Exclusion 100%.

4. #C8C8C8 at Color Burn 100%.

5. Take the first/bottom texture layer, and drag it to the top. Set it to Softlight at 32%.

6. Finally, add this texture and set it to Softlight 65%.
7. Merge all layers altogether.

8. Put on the other image, setting it to 100%. I'd suggest experimenting with the opacities, dependingly to your image.

9. Brushes/border/text is optional.

Examples:



  • Credit (for textures): colorfilter, arisubox respectively.
  • Feedback isn't necessary, but would be lovely.
  • Do tell me if I screwed up at any part of this tutorial, thanks.
  • Shameless pimping: dk09k. Yes I'm such a whore. :D
  • I'd love to see any of the results you guys may have gotten.
