Icon Tutorial: Sleeping Beauty (PS CS)

May 17, 2005 19:56

We are going to learn how to make this icon:





I started with a screencap by teh_indy from Sleeping Beauty. I resized and cropped it to 100x100.

Go to Filter >> Sharpen


The next layer is a base stamp from here set to #B35F85.



Change the blending mode to "overlay".

Next, duplicate the bottom layer, desaturate it (Ctrl + Shift + U), and place it above the base stamp. Change the opacity to 50%.

The next layer is a texture from The Magic Box. Select an area you like of it, and place it over your icon. Set the blending mode to hard light.

I then used a border brush set to #E0AC92 (by icons_with_love)



The next layer is just a text brush set to one of the paler colours in the icon.

Finally, the text "Evil" is Arial Black Regular, set to #3A0000 with the blending mode set to "darken".

Your final icon should look something like this:



Good luck & happy icon-ing!

Happy icon-ing!
