Tutorial # 3  




Tutorial #3-Charlie, LOST
Simple, but effective tut:


Going from this: to this:

Made in The Gimp 2.4
Translatable!
Includes: color fill layers
Understand what copy visible layers and pasting them means!




1. first start off by cropping your base. I used this screencap of charlie:

2. Next I duplicated my base and set it to screen. Duplicated the screen layer and set that to overlay with a 50% opacity.

3. Now copy visible and paste a new layer. (if you're not entirely sure what this is then look at my other tut's. It's basically making a new layer with all your other layers visible...blahh lol)

4. Make a new color fill layer and fill with this color: 330000. I set this to exclusion with an additonal overlay layer. Basically: set your first layer to screen, then duplicate it, duplicate that screen layer and set this layer to overlay with 29.9% opacity. Then duplicate your overlay layer and this this to either difference or subtract100% opacity.

^For anybody else this is a basic exclusion layer. ;)

5. Now this step is a little confusing. Go to copy visible-then paste-then under layer click anchor instead of new layer!! Now copy visible and paste a new layer as usual.

6.Now I sharpened my icon and did an unsharp mask(you can mess around with the settings).

7. Then I added this texture made by [info]charlieandi and set it to lighten.

if anyone has any questions or problems feel free to ask and I'll do the best i can to help ;) Still trying to get better at explaining tut's and all lol. I just hope I'm not confusing everybody.
