Tutorial Marathon @ teelke_arts ( part 1 )
Before I start I would like to say, please don´t just copy tutorials.
You should use them to learn from them and not just search for pictures and then apply a coloring from another person.
Try to play around with the settings, add some new layers or delete some that will help you so
much more than copying the work of another maker!

Step 8: Make a new blank layer and drag it on top.
Now you press Strg + Alt + Shift + E and you have a copy of your icon so far.
Step 9: I wanted to have a clean one colored background so I took the Smudge Tool and Smudged the parts away that I didn´t need. On this icon I couldn´t remove the whole background my smudging so I made another blank layer, took the color of the background ( with the Eyedropper Tool ) and painted on the parts that I didn´t want.
thats how the icon looked after smudging
and here is your icon after painting on the not wanted parts and sharpening it a bit
I hope that you all enjoyed part one of my tutorial marathon!
