OK, this is my first time doing this. The icon is nothing complicated or special, but it's the first one I made without using a tutorial written by someone else, so I'm kinda proud of it.
We will be making this icon.
Step 1: Take this picture from hitzdiary.com and crop it so you get this-
Step 2: Resize the picture so it's 100x100.
Step 3: Copy the background. Set the layer to Multiply.
Step 4: Copy the background again. Set this layer to Screen.
Step 5: Make a new Raster layer. Fill the layer with a dark blue color (I used #0E1E64). Then set the layer to Exclusion.
The icon now looks like this:
Step 6: Make another new Raster layer. Fill this layer with this gradient-
that I made, and set it to Hard Light, opacity 50.
Step 7: Make another new layer. Then take this brush-
made by miggy with the color #EC8361. Set it to Overlay.
Step 8: Now erase the lines that cover Taylor's gorgeous face.
And you're done!!
Please leave comments and let me know how I did :D
