Helping icon makers one tutorial at a time.

Don't really know how to describe this, so I'll just ask straight out: How do I get the glowing look of the white areas/brushes used in this web site's header?

Thanks for all help. =)

Three Icon Tutorials for you ~♥



Feel free to ask any questions and enjoy HERE

This are my first tutorials, let me know if you like them, and please ask me if something isn't clear!!


1. Just a simple icon-tut, how to go from this to this:


2. A banner tut, because a few people asked me how to do it! How to make this banner.

(Tutorials this way!)

Umm well this is hard to explain, but does anyone know how to make a realistic pic look cartoonish. Like making an actual picture and have some sort of tutorial or something that could show me how to convert that picture into looking like a comic book picture or something?

My fourth icon tutorial, and fifth Photoshop tutorial overall.

Comments appreciated!!!!

Oh, and it's done in Photoshop CS.

First tutorial, hope it's okay.

It's for an icon I made a while ago, so sorry if it's not exact.

We're going from This picture to this:

I use photoshop 7.0, but it's probably translatable.

Were going from to or using Photoshop CS.

I need some help regarding coloring. I'm using PSP8.

I have these two pictures of Dane Cook:

1 - http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/rubysoho2/danecook1.gif
2 - http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/rubysoho2/danecook2.jpg

The coloring is different with each one (particularly with his skin color) so I was wondering how I can make them look the same/similar. I'd like for the 2nd picture to be like the 1st one.

If anyone can help that would be awesome, thanks!

I've recently learned how to do mini movie icons, but only if I have a .gif animation all ready for me. I have several icons that I'd like to make, but I can't figure out how to make the clips. I have the dvd, or in a couple of cases the .avi file, but how do I save a certain part of it as a gif animation? Do I just have to save every single frame of it, one by one? Er, sorry for the rambling question, if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it ^_^

Go from this to with Adobe Photoshop CS. It should translate to PSP pretty well.

Just realized I forgot to post a tutorial I wrote out a while ago. I'm too lazy to type it all out again, so it's completely copied and pasted from my own icon journal. Please keep in mind that I'm working with version 2.0 of Photoshop Elements.

Oh, god. Not another one, right? Well, boredom struck, and I simply couldn't contain myself. How shocking. Well, here goes nothing.

Tell me what you think, and if it even helped at all. I'll write part two when I have a bit more time.

[end of copied text]

I'll get around to typing up the second part, really I will.

This: to

This was written in Photoshop CS 2. It also assumes that you have a basic working knowledge of PS and know how to use Soft Light, Overlay, Hard Light Layers.

Sorry for spamming everyone, this should be my last post for tonight. I've been trying to use the magic wand tool, but it only selects the whole of my image, not just certain parts of it. I've never had a problem with it in the past and haven't changed any settings or anything. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

A very very simple icon tutorial but is quite detailed for beginners.

Program:PSP 9
Level:So easy its almost criminal
