I don't know why, but I decided to make a tutorial. it is my first tutorial. we will be making this icon... in PS CS.

you can see more at citylight_icons

>>>

please comment and enjoy. and I would love to see what you made.



we will start with this picture of Mary-Kate and Ashley. I decided to make the icon focus on Mary-Kate(left).

since I made this icon while ago, I have my base a little diffrently cropped.

 

start by :Duplicating the picture 3 times.

             1st duplication: screen

             2nd duplication:soft light

             3rd duplication:soft light and set to 50% opacity.

             Flatten image
and Sharpen.

 

I don't like Mary-Kates sharpen face so I take the blur tool and soften her skin.

 

then I want to sharpen her lips and eyes. I took the sharpenning tool at  20% and sharpened her eyes and mouth.

 

then I took this icon texture by Tre-xture and set it to Soft Light.

and added some brushes and DONE!
