Hello! I haven't made a tutorial in a while, but I made an icon that I liked and decided to make it a tutorial. I use Photoshop Elements, but it should translate easily to other programs.

We will be making today!


I cropped to and duplicated twice, then sharpened once.

Layer 2: Screen, 87%.

Layer 3: Desaturate and put it on Soft Light, 100%.

Layer 4: by me, on Hard Light, 100%.

Layer 5: Duplicate the first layer again and drag it to the top and put it on Overlay, 100%.

Layer 6: by me, on Screen, 75%, and I erased the part over her lips.

Layer 7: I coloured over her lips in #ED3D45 and set it to Overlay, 100%.

Layer 8: I used a brush in white and set it to Normal, 56%.

Layer 9: I wrote random stuff in Elegant, point 5, and left it at Normal, 100%.

Layer 10: I added a one pixel border in a colour from the picture [#4C5E50].

Then I merged and was done, with the final product as ! I'd love feedback and to see what you came up with!
