That should make her apples of her cheeks darker.

Now Duplicate you base 5 Times.

Ok Put them on this

1. Multiply

2. Screen

3. Hard Light. Desatuarate

4. Soft Light

Now On Layers 3 and 4 Go Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian Blur

Now Get the Dodge Tool on 50%

Now get the Burn tool, and on the smallest size go over her eyes, to look asif she has darker eye liner.

Now Go Imge >>> Adjustments>> Variations and Press magenta Once. Now edit>> Fade variations >> 46%

Base Should Now look like This

Ok before the effects you have to do this.

Duplicate the base layer.

Erase the background of the Duplicated Base.

Now in-between the Base and Duplicated Layer. Make a New layer.

Now right click on that Layer and go to “Blending Options”

Ok Now for the effects.

I got this Brush. It came with my Photoshop originally

Looks like this when Brushed

Now Brush A design you want on it in white

Now above all layers make a new layer. Set the same Blending Options. Now make a stroke across it in white. This is where your text goes.

Now for your text.

So across the last Brushes layer write what you want in white. And set the Bledning Options to “Drop Shadow” and “Outer Glow”

Finsh it f with a border and your done.

Awesome tut, will try later!

New Tut from me. Involves Selective coloring- sorry PSP users.

How to go from this: To this:

1. Open base. Sharpen/Crop/Resize e.t.c. I didn't sharpen.

2. Duplicate base, set to Screen @ 100%. You may need to fiddle with the opacity, depending on your image.

3. Make a new Color Balance Layer. These were my settings-

Midtones: -45, -5, 24

4. Duplicate base, and drag to the top. Desaturate and set to Softlight, 30%.

5. Make a new Hue/Sat Layer. These were my settings-

Master: 0, 27, 0

Red: 0, 13, 0

6. Make a new Selective Color Layer. My settings-

Reds: -88, 0, 54, 0

Yellows: -81, 0, 49, 0

Neutrals: 20, -14, -31, 0

7. (This step is optional, I suppose)Make another Selective Color Layer. My settings-

Neutrals: 0, -8, 12, 0

This is what my icon looks like now:

8. Something was missing, so I added this random brush made by me in white.

Finished. My result:

I just invert it...

How do you that then?

Sorry Mar, I tried yours but I dind't get it. And I didn't get that red colour you were taling about

ETA: I got some help

[.Cat.]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with masking?

I have downloaded some brushes like this and I was wondering if anyone could help me to get it to look like this

Use the magic wand tool, and go over the black part. Only the black part should now be selected. Hit delete on your keyboard.

EDIT: Ok, that doesn't work. Here...I made this:

Just apply it in white, as a brush.
