2 tutorials made in PS7
I got asked for a tutorial explaining how to make this kind of icons, so here we go.
I brought you two examples (:
FIRST ONE.
how to get this.
1- open your picture, select and copy the part you're interested in
2- copy it into a new file (100px X 100px). I chose as my background the color #F3F3F3.
3-start erasing the picture. I used a small brush *screencap*
4- when you're done, start playing with textures. I used some black and white textures, I set them to multiply and erased some parts.
(es. this and this ones)
5- I filled a new layer with the color #2D2D2D and set it to exclusion.
6- added some new textures (the text thing and the moon).
et voila!
my result
it's very easy. once you have learnt how to erase parts and stuff, it's really up to your creativity of mixing textures : D
