tutorial

[livejournal.com profile] xtatiq requested and I will oblige. With this tutorial I'm assuming that you have a basic knowledge of Photoshop, I'm using Photoshop7 but it should translate to all additions, there are a LOT of very similar steps and this is because the lighting in this cap was indirect, these steps probably won't apply to all other caps used in this process - you will have to muck around with percentages. I'm not so good with words so if anything is confusing please tell me and comment if you find it helpful, I want praise *g*.

This is the icon. Have fun.

Colouring Tutorial (photoshop 7.0)

The week has just started and already I'm counting down the days until Friday night comes around once again. nothing much has been happening here, last week that was a 50/50 chance it might SNOW in Melbourne, but only the country areas got it and we were left with icy cold winds and fake storms. Stupid weather.

On Sunday I went to the RMIT University open day, the Bundoora Applied Science campus looks really good and their Nursing course is everything I could wish for - I'm still trying to decided between Development Studies and Nursing, both look very shiny.

So onto the actual point of this update, [livejournal.com profile] xanya asked about the colouring of an icon I did for [livejournal.com profile] icon_crack and because not doing homework is a great motivator I've decided to have a go at making my first icon tutorial. Now this is done from memory and I'm not one for words and tend to confuse things so if there is something that is unclear, please drop a comment and I'll see if I can be more... uh clear.

This tutorial isn't a step-by-step guide to making the exact icon but rather a guide on how I did the colouring, with pictures and all! Also I'm going to assume you have a basic knowledge of Photoshop.

I saw Alias 4x01 and 4x02, The Island and the Doctor Who final in the last couple of days, words and anaylsis really aren't my thing - I'll post with icons of each instead.   

ETA: Damnit I want 100 icons! *kicks 15*
