I have two tutorials here, requested by
narishun_kun :)
Learn to go from
to
and how to get
to
check my
resources for credits on textures and brushes!
With the base of the ferris wheel icon, you'll want to duplicate and set the top layer to soft light 100%.
Next paste
into a new layer and set to Multiply with the opacity to 25%. Erase the texture covering the ferris wheel and whirlie thing, so that the only effects are over the sky.
Then paste
into a new layer and set it to Multiply with the opacity to 50%. Again, erase the texture from all but the sky, to preserve the bright lights on the carnival equipment.
Now paste
onto a new layer and set it at Multiply with the opacity at 40%. Keep erasing over everything but the sky. I know, it's a pain ;)
Last texture. Paste
onto a new layer and set it at Multiply with the opacity at 60%.
There may have been a more simple way to get these effects, but that's how I did it.
To finish, paste
into a new layer and set it on Lighten with the opacity at 100%.
Flatten the image and duplicate your layer, set the duplication to Screen 42% and flatten again.
Paste
onto a new layer and set it to Darken, 50%.
Flatten the image and duplicate your layer, set the duplication to Soft Light 50%.
Then you can add white tiny text if you like, but your result should resemble this:
Not precisely the same, but as close as I could get trying to recreate the icon.
to
Start by duplicating the base and setting the new layer to Soft Light.
Create a new layer and fill it with the colour #04073c which looks like
and set that layer to Exclusion 100%.
Take this texture and set it to Overlay 20%
Now add
and set it to Darken 50%. Add this texture again to a new layer and set it at Multiply 30%.
Add
again and set it to Overlay 25%.
Add
and set to Lighten 95%
Now go to Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Selective Colors and adjust to the following:
Nuetrals: -3, +8, 0, 0
Whites: +16, 0, 0, +10
Cyans: +100, 0, 0, +10
Blacks: -25, 0, 0, 0
Lastly, add
again and set it to Darken 100%. If you want more of the red effects, just add a new layer and set it to Screen or Lighten and use a soft round brush to add hints of red. I screened a layer at 25% and duplicated the light texture we used.
That should produce something like this:
How about that. Are those useful?
