Icon Tutorial No. 8: Temari
Tutorial requested by 
morningstar___! This was also the First Place icon of Week 27 (Book Titles) for
kunoichi_stills. 7 Steps, pretty looking icon!
Level: Easy
Program: Adobe Photoshop 7.0 (transferable)
Go from this to this:
1. Start with this picture of Temari and crop it at 100x100 px so the focus is on her and her fan. There may be a tiny black line on the left side--don't worry about it because we're covering it with a border brush later.
You should see something like this:
2. Duplicate this cropped section (CTRL A>>CTRL C>>CTRL V) and sharpen it (FILTER>>SHARPEN>>SHARPEN). Set this layer to 75% opacity.
You should see something like this:
3. Use this texture by
myrasis and set it on top on SCREEN, 100%. Erase the parts that obscure her face.
You should see something like this:
4. Rotate the picture once clockwise (IMAGE>>ROTATE IMAGE>>90 CW), and then use the rectangle tool to make a strip of #FFFFFF.
You should see something like this:
5. Use Castellar in #5E5A81 at 7 pt and type in "asking for" and "trouble". Change Blending Options so there's a 1 pt stroke in #FFFFFF. (Move the words so there's at least 2-3 px room on the edges. Then use Black Night and type in the letter "T" in white, font 30, with a 2 pt #5E5A81 stroke. Move this under "asking for" and/or "trouble" so you're not crowded.
You should see something like this:
6. Make a new layer, then use this tiny text brush by me and make some decorative strokes around the white parts surrounding the text in #5E5A81.
You should see something like this:
7. Rotate the icon back (IMAGE>>ROTATE IMAGE>>90 CCW). Make a new layer. Use this boarder brush by me in #5E5A81 and change blending options so there's a 3 pt #FFFFFF stroke. Save, and you're all done!
Your finished product should look something like this:
