Jack Colour Tutorial  






Hey there!!


Making this

from

this


This is my first ever icon tut so be nice!! I
used Photoshop 5.5 for this so it is easily convertable into any other program.


Added Layers Action After




Click here for the cap

 Okay ,
so firstly I start off with a cap!! I got this one from

Lost-media… I cropped it using the cropping tool (duh! Lol) and made
sure that it was set to an aspect ratio of 100x100 px. (for those of you
that don’t know , that means that the picture gets cropped to a specific
size.

So
next I decide to Sharpen. Filter>> Sharpen. I did this twice. It ended
up a little too sharpened so I went to  Sharpen>> Unsharp Mask and set
it to 50. Then I duplicated the layer and set it to screen.

Right
so next I add a new layer which I filled with #030039 , a very dark
blue. I set this one to exclusion. I then Duplicated it. (yes I know he
looks too yellowy but we will come to that in a moment…)

After
that I thought hmmm… looks a bit too yellow sooo I added a new layer and
filled it with

#A4DDF4. A light blueish colour. I set this to soft
light.

Oh so
now he looks too green , well don’t worry!! I added a new layer and
filled it with #CFC2B3 a mid tanned browny colour, and then set it to
colour burn.

Oh
fine then , don’t go a nice colour… I was getting annoyed at this point
X:O So I added a new light grey layer #E3E3E3 and guess what? Yep , I
set that to colour burn too.

Yeah..
that helped… It made it darker so I could colour and lighten it. Right
now for that part where I try not to mess things up. Add the gradient
(sorry , I have forgotten who made it…) and paste it inbetween your two
exclusion layers. I fiddled around and set it to Darken.. I know , weird
choice but it is getting there…

Oooh…
Jack is looking a little pink there , so I do something about it and
duplicated my base and set it on top. I set it to soft light.. ahh.
That’s a better.
 



And there you have it … A lovely Jack icon…






Don’t copy this tut exactly (you know ,
basically do exactly the same icon.) and you can snag the
icon if you want but credit arwen_elven if you use it
anywhere…



 



Thanks!
