Tutorial 2 | Harry Potter and Hermione Granger

Tutorial 2 | Harry Potter and Hermione Granger

Not image heavy. Just coloring and examples.

Accompany me to show you how to get from this.

Coloring

  1. Fix your base as you always would. I never resize it until I’m finished coloring, but that’s your choice. I did two screen layers at 100 opacity.
  2. New Selective Color Layer:
    R: -100, 44, 100, 0
    Y:     100, 0, -100, 0
    N:     9, -8, 36, 0
  3. New Selective Color Layer:
    R: 0, 9, 82, 0
    Y:     0, 0, -48, 0
    N: 9, -10, -40, 0
  4. New Selective Color Layer:
    R: -21, 0, 71, 0
    Y:     0, 0, -100, 0
    N:     -6, -15, 0, 0
  5. New Hue/Saturation Layer:
    Master Saturation: 20

Post-Coloring

  1. Resize your image to 70 height, select the canvas, copy and paste it into a new 100 x 100 canvas. When I resize, the dimensions aren’t usually equal. I set one of the dimensions to 100 and see whether the other dimension is over 100 or under 100. If it’s under 100, I set that dimension to 100 so the other dimension is over 100. Make sense?
  2. In the canvas, set the image at the top right corner, duplicate the layer and move it directly under the first image, so a small strip of white shows between both the images.
  3. Click on the Pen Tool and set it to Freeform by right-clicking it. Select the rounded rectangle and set the radius to 5 pixels. Then create a path on the left side of the layer. Make a new layer above all the layers, and set the opacity to 70.
  4. Right-click the rounded rectangle path and select the Fill Path option. Fill it with white.
  5. Before you panic about the path still showing, just hit CTRL + H and it will disappear.
  6. Now the square looks very boring. Select the rectangle by using the Magic Wnad Tool and Inversing the selection by hitting SHIFT + CTRL + I. Take this by [info]ewanism  and paste into the selection by hitting SHIFT + CTRL + V. Set the opacity to 40 and merge it down.
  7. It still looks boring. Use the Burn Tool (right-click the Dodge Tool and select Burn Tool). Set the exposure to 50 at Shadows and brush the rounded rectangle layer a little bit. Then select Highlights at 20 Exposure and brush the layer again. Burn it until it looks like it blends into the background even more.
  8. Motion Blur this layer.
    Angle: 90
    Distance: 10
  9. Take THIS grainy texture (modified by me) and paste it on top of the rounded rectangle. Set the opacity to 80 and merge it with the rounded rectangle layer.
  10. Click on the Pen Tool and set it to Freeform by right-clicking it. Select the rounded rectangle and set the radius to 5 pixels. Then create a path on the right side of the layer. This rectangle should only have one side inside the icon. You don’t want the other sides to show for this. Make a new layer above all the layers.
  11. Select the Paintbrush tool and select a small, rounded 3 pixel brush. Reselect the Freeform Pen Tool and right-click your path. Select Stroke Path and Brush from the dropdown menu. The one side of the rectangle should show up after you hit CTRL + H.
  12. Duplicate this layer, flip it horizontally and move it a little bit away from the two images (mine is the HP cap duplicated and positioned under the first).
  13. Take this heart (made by using a custom shape) and paste it at the top of the layer palette. Set the opacity to 50.
  14. Add any brushes, text, etc. And you should be finished.



    Ask for .PSD.

Hi! I think there is something wrong with the tutorial, because I tried to do it with the same cap, and the result was all yellowish

It could be that you lightened it differently. Show me what it looks like.

When I right-click the rectangle, "Fill path" isn't listed as an option for me. :/

When you did the rectangle, your toolbar probably looked like this:


It should look like this:


Did that help?

I'd like the PSD, this thoroughly confused me

What's confusing you? I'm sure the .psd won't solve the problem.

This is wonderful. I'll try it later.
