Coloring Tutorial
So, I have created a new website where I will post coloring tutorials when I have time. The following tutorial is my first entry for my site and since I made a little mistake in this community yesterday, I am going to make it up by posting this tutorial. Hope you guys like it.
-Done in PS CS3 but translatable!
-6 Easy steps!
01. First, open up a picture. I chose Katie Leung and Robert Pattinson at the Dukes of Hazzard premiere. Crop it, resize, sharpen, blur, whatever you want.
02. Duplicate layers twice, set one of the layers to softlight and the other to screen. Drag the screen layer to the top.
03. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color to create a new fill layer. Fill the layer with #0c1526 and set it to exclusion.
04. Go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color to create another layer. Fill the layer with #bce6d4 and set it to color burn.
05.Go to Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Curves. Make the following curves:
RGB:
Point 1: Input: 163, Output: 198
Point 2: Input: 125, Output: 155
06. Go to Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation. Make the following saturation changes.
Red: +35
Yellow: -50
Green: +50
Cyans: +50
And you are done!
If your avatar looks a bit off, just adjust the saturation a bit. =]
Other avatars done with the same technique...
