Icon Tutorial 03
Icon Tutorial
(made in Photoshop, but I think it's translatable)


We're going from this to



1. Crop your base to 100x100px
2. Duplicate base three times and set all layers to screen.
3. Duplicate base once more and set to soft light.
4. Add new layer, fill with #D4FFFE and set to color burn.
5. Add new layer, fill with #9FCFEB and set to soft light.
6. Add new layer, fill with #E1B7A0 and set to soft light.
7. Duplicate base and bring to the top and set it to soft light.
8. Add new adjustment layer, hue/saturation and use saturation +30.

That's all folks!
