Kristen Tutorial

[wrthy2bluvd]

Since someone was interested in the way I had made one of my NY icons, I decided to make a tutorial with a similar style. This is a two part tutorial.

Going from
to
then

Made with Photoshop CS3 and the first part uses selective coloring.
(If you're interested in only the second part, you can skip the first one altogether.)

to

1 - Crop & resize image to 100x100px.

Reds = -10
Set the layer to 30%.

From
to

12 - Duplicate base.

13 - On copy. Filter > Distort > Twirl. Put it completely at the end (999).



14 - Filter > Blur > Radial blur 30.



15 - Use the Elliptical Marquee Tool and and select the area of your choice. Once chosen, cut(Ctrl+x).
(Make sure not to use the refine edge so that when you cut out your selection it will have a fading effect. This will blend better with the base image.)



16 - Add this texture, by me. Set it to Color Dodge 100%.
(You may sometimes want to use the Elliptical Marquee Tool over this layer as well. Especially if it covers up your base image too much.)



17 - Add text if you want and you're done. :)



If anyone has any questions, I'll be glad to clear anything up. :)
