Icon-esque Colouring pt 2
Note: I use Photoshop CS but i'm sure this can be translated into other programs as well.
You're going to get this icon:
Now, I'm going to assume that you've read part 1. I explained things in there that I'm not going to
re-explain in pt 2. I'm just too lazy to type it all out. Again. =p
On with the icon!
Steps:
1. Okay, so, I've already cropped my picture and have gotten my base:
The original pictures, from the other tutorials, can be found here:

2. Duplicate the base, and set it to softlight. You duplicate the layer by right clicking on it on your layers
pallette and hitting duplicate layer.
3. Repeat step 2. Yes, so now you are going to have 2 layers that are set to soft light. Don't worry it'll
turn out fine in the end. I promise.
So, so far you should have this:
4. Now, with the coloring. The best part. Create a new layer above it all, and fit it, with your paint bucket
too, with #BBB7C7, a dark/slightly light blue/grayish color. Set that layer to Multiply.
5. Create another new layer, fill it with #F2E5B3, and set that to multiply as well.
So far, I have this:
6. Create another new layer and fill it in with a light blue color, like #E5F9FF, and set that to color burn.
7. Now for a good ol' exclusion layer, which tops it all off. Sort of. I created another, omg another how
many have we made so far?, later and filled it with #080033 and set that to Exclusion. I also lowered
that layers opacity to 50%. I didn't like the complete washed out look it gave at 100%.
8. Now you are done with the coloring layers, and now to finishing the icon. I took a soft edged brush,
made the color white and just clicked.
After I made my dab of color, I changed it to soft light. Shown in the last image.
9. And now, I added some text that says "HANGING" with these settings:
10. Finally added a black border (Refer to pt. 1 on how to do that). And bam! We're done.
Looks good right? I like it. A lot. Maybe I shouldnt have written this and kept it for my own. Nahhh.
