Icon Tutorial #1
Featuring Kiki Kannibal

First, open up a blank, 100x100 image. Fill the background with the colour #F0EEE8.


Next, take your base. Here's Mine:


Then, set it to colour burn. If it's too bright, like mine is, adjust the brightness and contrast of the background layer until it looks good.



Next, fiddle around with the colours of the base. Open up SELECTIVE COLOUR. Here's what i got:
REDS: +1, +100, +100, -75
YELLOWS: -50. -26, -66, 0
GREENS: -100, -100, -100, -100
CYANS: +100, +100, -100, -23
WHITES: -100, -100, -100, 0
NEUTRALS: +23, 0, -10, +2



Next, open up colour balance. Here's what i did.
MIDTONES: +25, -20, -23
SHADOWS: -15, +5, +18
HIGHLIGHTS: -27, +8, -6



Press crt+U and set saturation to -50.



Open up a new layer and take a round, soft airbrush and make a soft pink dot where it would look good. I used #EE0065. Then set it to lighten. And we're done!
