Tutorial # 1: Cristina Scabbia

2008-02-09T20:54:51Z

I've decided to make a tutorial of my latest icon, which I'm very pleased with. Just be warned: it involves selective coloring, so it is non-translatable.

Today, we are going to go from this:
to:

First, I found a picture of Cristina Scabbia from the Italian band, Lacuna Coil ('cause you need a base!):

1) Crop the image to 100x100 and sharpen as needed.

2) Add a Color Balance adjustment layer with these settings:
Midtones: +34, -14, -17
Preserve Luminosity: Leave checked.

3) Add a Selective Color adjustment layer with these settings (or similar, depending on your base):
Reds: +80, +15, +47, +39
Blues: +95, -5, -27, 0
Neutrals: +27, -13, -27
Note: The blue adjustments for my particular icon had no drastic impact, so if yours has similar coloring to begin with, you can leave out adjusting them.

4) Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer with these settings:
Master>>Saturation: +18

5) Add a Solid Color adjustment layer:
#030D28
Exclusion: 77% (or thereabouts)

6) Add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer with these settings:
Contrast: +18

7)
Paste the above texture by spiritcoda to your image. Set it to Soft Light 100%.

8) Almost there! Add a final Solid Color adjustment layer with these settings:
#062250
Exclusion: 60% (or thereabouts)

And there you have it! Of course, you can add a brush or two to the final product, but that is entirely up to you. The brush I used was made by saava. Please let me know if you found this useful, and enjoy!

Here's an example of an icon made with the same procedure, but after fiddling around with opacities:
