Autumn Color Icon Tutorial

Tutorial

Now, on with the fun!

1. Grab your base. Yellow : +100

2. Duplicate your base and set it to Screen @ 60% Black : +13
3. Create a new layer, flood fill with FEEED6 and set
it to Multiply @ 100% Neutrals
4. Create another new layer, fill it with 130D31 and Cyan : +7
set it to Exclusion @ 100% Magenta : -3
5. Okay, now, we're going to do some a selective Yellow : +25
color layer, so go Layer >>New Adjustment Layer Black : -20
Selective Color and here are your settings:
Now, you should have a much more vibrant picture,
Reds as compared to the base in the beginning.
Cyan : -100
Magenta: +29 6. 'member that base? Duplicate it and drag it up to
Yellow : +100 the top. Set it to Soft Light @100% . A bit more
Black : +100 vibrant, eh?

Yellows 7. Now I added some text/decorations. I created a

new layer, and took a white soft edges brush and
Cyan : -100
did that soft white thingie, and then I put some text
Magenta : +53
over it. Voila!

Tutorial
Oh, before I begin, i'd like to mention right now that this tutorial will not work on all pictures. Coloring tutorials
NEVER work on all pictures. Each picture is unique and has its own color attributes. So. All of the color balance
and selective color layers? Totally editable. Just change them to work towards your own image, ok?

Step One:
Find a picture
I cropped it down to 600*356.

Step Two:
I created a new curves layer by going Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Curves and used these settings below:

Step Three:
I created a color balance layer by going
Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Color Balance
and used these settings below:

Step Four:
I created a new selective color layer by going
Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Selective Color
and used these settings (set method to Relative):
Green : Red : Neutrals :
cyan : 100% cyan : 12%
cyan : 100%
magenta : 0% magenta : 20%
magenta : 100%
yellow : 100% yellow : 17%
yellow : 44%
black : 100% black : -17%
black : 0%

White : Yellow :
cyan : 17% cyan : -100%
magenta : 5% magenta : 45%
yellow : 12% yellow : 58%
black : 0% black : 25%

李流-ちゃん☺
Step Five:
I created a new layer (Layer >> New Layer) and filled it with the color #100F35 and set the layer to Exclusion.

Step Six:
I duplicated my base, way down at the bottom, and dragged it up top and set that duplicated layer up top to
Soft Light.
So far, my graphic looks like this:

Step Seven:
I created another new Color Balance
layer and used these settings

Step Eight: Step Nine:

I created a new layer and filled it with
the color #FFEA5F and set that layer
to Soft Light at 40% Opacity.
I created a new layer and filled it with
the color #F1FBD5 and set that layer to
Soft Light at 100% Opacity. But don't panic!
Yes, this is going to make your graphic
look a bit washed out, but I promise it'll look good!

Step Ten:
I created a new Selective Color layer and used these settings (set method to Relative) :
Cyan : Green : Red : Yellow :
cyan : 100% cyan : -100% cyan : -100% cyan : 100%
magenta : 100% magenta : 100% magenta : 100% magenta : 46%
yellow : 12% yellow : -100% yellow : 65% yellow : -100%
black : 66% black : 100% black : 58% black : 32%

Step Eleven:
To try and consolidate all my editing together,
I created a new layer and then on my
keyboard hit cntrl+alt+shift+e this merging
everything below together and putting
it on my new layer.
So far, I have this:

李流-ちゃん☺
Step Twelve:
Now, I know that this effect is a bit cliche, but
I'm trying to go with this dreamy, princess-y theme,
so I'm going to use the dream effect. So, I'm going to
duplicate the top layer and go Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian Blur
and i'm going to do the filter at 5 pixels.

Step Thirteen:
So, after I have my blurriness, I'm going to take
a large, REALLY LARGE, soft edged eraser,
with it set at 40% Opacity I'm going to erase
the area of the blurriness over the tiara.
Erase the parts that are red.

Step Fourteen:
Add your own finish touches! It's up to you. The choice is yours.

And yay! Tutorial done! Happy coloring!

Step Uno: Grab your base
For this lovely tutorial, I am
using a picture of the even
lovlier Gaspard Ulliel, who
was seriously born to play
Edward and some people
just can't see that, but
ANYWAYS.

Step Two: Minor Tweeks

(OPTIONAL)
When I was creating this
graphic, as I kept doing
my coloring layers, I
noticed some slight
pixelated so I blured a
couple of areas.
Blurred Areas:

Step Three: TEXTurize ME

Take this lovely texture:

and set that to SCREEN giving you the result of

Step Six: Yellerrr
Make a new layer
(Layer>>New Layer), fill it
with the color: D3C205 and
set it to Soft Light @ 100%
Opacity, which yes, makes
a slightly ugly yellow hue to
everything but really, it
looks better in the end.

Step Seven: Mas Color

Create a new selective color adjustment layer, and input these settings (set method to relative) :

Red : yellow : neutral :

cyan : -100% cyan : -60% cyan : 100%
magenta : 0% magenta : 0% magenta : -14%
yellow : 100% yellow : -90% yellow : -4%
black : 0% black : 0% black : -11%

which gives the resultsss of

New selective color adjustment layer, again, i'm starting to sense a pattern..., with these settings

Red : Yellow : Neutral :

cyan : -100% cyan : -44% cyan : -41%
magenta : 0% magenta : 0% magenta : 1%
yellow : 100% yellow : -45% yellow : -6%

Step Nine: Layered
Duplicate your base,
way down at the
bottom, drag it on up
your layers pallete,
and set that to Soft
Light @ 40% Opacity.
So far:

Step Ten: Curvalicioso

Step Sixteen: Balancenco
Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Color Balance, with these settings

to give this

Step Seventeen: Radical

duddeeee
NOW! Here's the fun part.
Create a new layer. Hit
cntrl+alt+shift+e on your
keyboard. This merges
everything that you've
done onto that one layer.
Now go to Filter >> Blur
>> Radial Blur and look at
this:

What you have to do is drag the center a little off to the right, because Edward, i'm sorry Gaspard, is off to the
right a bit. It doesn't quite have to be exact, just..near him.
When I did this, I got this:

李流-ちゃん☺
Now all you have to do is take a fairly large soft edged eraser, and just click once in the center, where he is.
Once yuo've done the erasing, set the layer to Soft Light @40% Opacity

Step Eighteen: Texxtturization Meh

Remember that texture from step three? Yes. Duplicate it, drag it to the top, and hit it to Screen.

to give

I don't know why I did it twice. It seems stupid, now that I think about it.

李流-ちゃん☺
Step Nineteen: Seein' Double
Create a new layer. Hit cntrl+alt+shift+e. Resize it, cntrl+t, make it smaller and move it off to the left side of his
head. Using a large soft edged eraser, set it to soft light.

To get..this. It's quite lovely.

Step Twenty: Bow chicka wah wah

Now. Duplicate that last layer. And then, we're going to blur it again. I honestly don't have any pictures to this
describe it, and to only say, move the blur center off to the left side. Yeah. Once you have the blur, just erase
some that'll spread, and set the blur layer to soft light, and lower the opacity a bit.

And then, you're done! Just add some text, border, whatever!

It's soo purrrty!!

Brightness to +4 & the Contrast to +18. This gives the
picture more contrast & creates less of a dull effect.

mode to Darken, opacity 29%. This gives the picture a
dark misty effect.
