Simple Rupert Grint PSP 9 Tut
This has probably been done [several times] before.
We're turning this:
into this: 
*I'm using PSP 9, but it's probably simple enough to translate
We have this picture. It's of Rupert Grint when he attended An Audience
with Al Murray. The pic was hi-res so I'm not posting it.
1) Let's pretend I have the image in front of me. I crop and I re-size it to 100x100. THIS IS YOUR BASE.
*Note that when using the re-size option, select SMART SIZE.
Your base:
2) We duplicate the base (Layers >> Duplicate)
3) Press Shift + H to open up the Hue/Saturation/Lightness settings. Bring the saturation to -100. Leave the lightness at 0.
4) Set this layer to Soft Light
Your icon looks like this now:
5) Duplicate the BASE again. Set this layer to Burn. De-saturate this one as well.
Your icon looks like this now:
6) Duplicate the base again. Set it to Overlay.
Your icon looks like this now:
7) Make a new NORMAL raster layer. (Layers >> New Raster Layer)
Apply this brush by
teh_indy in the color #b5e5f7
The size I used was 50. I stick it near the top-right corner.
Your icon looks like this now:
8) Make a new raster layer. Set it to Exclusion.
9) Flood-fill it with this color: #00103c (Flood-fill is set to EXCLUSION at 100)
Icon looks like this:
10) Create a new vector layer (Layers >> New Vector Layer)
11) I write the text "shy guy" in the color #030566. Font is Times New Roman, kerning is set to 150 and it's size 7 italicized.
12) I rotate it so that it's parallel to Roo's cuff / sleeve / whatever. (The text should go right into his sleeve.)
13) Merge all layers. And you're done! This is what you should have:
This is how your layers palette should be. I re-named everything so you
can check steps easier. (Pics might be wrong, etc. so don't 100% rely
on them.)
