Heroes colouring tutorial

[prelusion]

My first tutorial post to this community, I hope you find it useful.
.psd included.



Step 1. Crop, resize and sharpen your base.



Step 2. Duplicate once and set to Screen (Change the amount/opacity of Screen layers depending on your image).



Step 3. Make a new Curves Adjustment Layer with these settings:

RGB:

Point 1 - I-58 O-60

Point 2 - I-105 O-41

Red:

Point 1 - I-44 O-57

Point 2 - I-122 O-138

Green:

Point 1 - I-61 O-75

Point 2 - I-109 O-136

Blue:

Point 1 - I-31 O-44

Point 2 - I-126 O-141

Change the Opacity to 73%.



Step 4. Now make a Selective Colour Layer with these settings:

R: -100, 0, +100, +100

Y: +5, +9, +100, +22



Step 5. Make a new layer and flood fill it with #54BCF7. Set the layer to Soft Light 54%



Step 6. Because I like it I add a little bit of text and this texture (I think it's by gender) on Lighten 100%
