tutorial number bazillion

here's another one i cooked up from messing around today.  it's mainly soft light and exclusion layers with a touch of screen and colour burn (:

so, you can get this colouring in nine easy peasy steps:
--> 

* used photoshop
* very translatable

1.  prepare base as needed.

2.  duplicate base, set to soft light 100% and sharpen once or twice.

3.  make a new layer, fill with mustardy yellow #C9C200 and set to exclusion 12%

4.  make a new layer, fill with light pink #FFB7E5, set to colour burn 34%

5.  duplicate your very first layer, drag it up to the top and set it to soft light 26%

6.  make a new layer and fill it with navy #032268 and set to exclusion 42%

7.  make another new layer, fill with almost black #0B0C09 and set it to overlay 22%

8.  make a new layer, fill it with purple #730FCF and set to exclusion 16%

9.  duplicate your first layer again and drag it to the top, and set it to screen 32% or higher if you want a brighter icon.

i really like how this turned out (: at first it was disastrous and then i turned it around.  i try to keep my tutorials simple and translatable so everyone can try it out.  

here are my results with other icons:
