How To Picsart

viii: STEPHANIE SCOTT icon (tutorial)

This chapter is another, full-blown step-by-step tutorial! This time, on an icon.

Level if Difficulty: 1-2/5

1. Get your resources. The only texture used in this is MINE, so go to my deviantart profile (@ slayvxdom) and download texture pack 04. You'll unzip it with ES File Explorer and use the last texture in the pack. Now, choose a png you'd like to use. It's best if the person you're using is only exposed down to their elbows. The png can't be taller/longer than that for this tutorial. The last resource needed is a red ribbon png. (If you'd really like to use the exact one I used, pm me)

2. Click edit and choose the texture to edit on (it'll already be square)

3. Click add images and add on your png to the center of the texture.

Tips
- If you hit blend and hit lighten, you'll see really, really good belding. However, it's blended the person's face! What to do now? Well, take a look at the body and how lighten has configured the blend for the png, and go back to normal & erase the body the way you saw it in lighten. I also decreased the png opacity to 90%, so that it wasn't see through yet but the colors matched the texture more nicely.

The above is how it should look like! (I erased where the arch is, so it looks a bit like she's behind it)

4. Click effects and filter the png to Light Cross. It'll make the png look more pink, which is what we're going for.

When you're done filtering it, however, the png will have greyish stuff on the outside. Erase those greyish wispies. We don't need them.
