PSP8 Tutorial \\ 1 - Yuna
Let's learn how to make this icon!
->
Some knowledge of how to use PSP8 is required.
If you create brushes out of the stamps I used, I do not remember the hex codes to most of them. Just chose a color that is alike.
So I started out with this image:
This is probably the hardest thing. You need to make sure that it is not the bottom layer and erase (or cut, whatever you do) the white area. Create a new layer underneath it and fill it with white.
Go to your Yuna layer and add a white drop shadow at 0,0 and gaussian blur it at 3.75! Set it ad Dodge 100. You may not be able to see it right away.
Keep your Yuna and shadow layer at the top at all times!
Next, I added this brush (I forget who made it. Feel free to comment):
I set that to Multiply 100.
Next, I added this (I don't remember whose this is either) at a shade of brown (Possibly 9B5707):
I set it at Luminance Legacy 100.
The next brush I added is by pilot. I used black and set it at Normal 54.
After that, I added this brush at black as well. I set it on normal 100.
You should now have something like this:
Next, add this brush (pilot) at #808080! Set it at Burn 100.
It should now look like this:
Add this (also by pilot) at a color near #DFCEA8. Set that at Overlay 100.
This should be something like your icon now:
I like it, but I feel like we could get more if we used more colors! I randomly chose a gradient. If you wanted to, you could probably chose one of your own and get a result similar.
I set that between my Yuna and drop shadow layer at Color Legacy 100.
I used that same gradient on top of Yuna and set it at Dodge 100.
Your icon should now look like this:
Next, add whatever you like. Make it your own. Experiment and create a style of your own.
