Tutorial on this icon:


Start with your base, sharpen.


You might like to duplicate your base, and set to screen. I didn't because my base is very white.

New curves layer.

Which leaves you with this:


Take this, and set to lighten 100%, stick it somewhere on your icon.





Duplicate your base, bring to the top and set to overlay 100%. Erase everything, except for the area of her face.


And that's it =D Here is another I made without the red dot.
