The Life Aquatic Icon Tutorial

Start with your base from the movie The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou 
The base was made by me! [kerrie_kors ] I have started making icon bases... so please go check them out!


1. Duplicate your base and set it to screen 58%. 

2. Duplicate your base again, drag it to the top, and set it to soft light 100%.

3. Make a new fill layer and fill with 12151E and set to exclusion 100%

4. Make another new fill layer and fill with 1B1E25 and set to color dodge 100%

5. Create another fill layer and fill with F3CFB4 and set to darken 100%

6. Take this pencil sketch of the base that I made and set it to multiply 82%

7. Now, make your first drawing color 250E55, and your second drawing color 850B2D. Like this.

8. Now make a gradient map [layer>new adjustment layer>gradient map] and make sure your settings look something like this and set the gradient map layer to lighten 85%

9. Now take this texture from a myspace site called Glance. And set that layer to screen 83%. Now there is a little too much around Steve Zissou's face... so erase some of it with a round brush set to about 13% opacity.

10. Now duplicate the image layer we used in step 6. Drag it to the top and set the layer to multiply 66%
