    Great icons everyone! :D

    Okay I'm new to photoshop so I was experimenting with this coloring tutorial by SunsetBoulevard. I want you guys to please tell me what you think about the icons, and if any improvements can be made how I would go about making those improvements. I'd really appreciate this thanks! :)

    I think those icons are great, the coloring in nice, maybe less saturation would be better. When I first used photoshop, i followed exactly what the tutorial said, but my advised will be, the coloring depends of the image, I think you can follow the tutorial, but put the numbers of selective coloring, hue/saturation that stuff, how you think it's better for the image ;)
    But, still, that coloring is nice :)

    And you'lll see that you'll get your own coloring soon ;)

    Thanks for the compliments everyone :D

    another great experiment, I really love Jonathan's face colour in this one :thumbsup:

    Shazza_018 I'm not too fond of orange skins, but I really like these icons. I mean the colouring is really good though, I agree w/ csifann that you don't have to follow the tutorials step by step & literally also b/c, w/ this tutorial, Kate Walsh has red hair, I don't see it on Emily Procter & Eva La Rue :lol:.
    It all depends on the image you have & the person you're manipulating :p

    Ok I tried to do something w/ this tutorial too ( I had to experiment it :lol: ) & I came up w/ this:

    @ Shazz - I realy like coloring like that. I think the 3rd one turned out best. The color of the shadows in the other two is too intense IMO. You could try to work with Color Balance to compensate.

    @ Orla_Dark - Great icons!!! The coloring is amazing :)

    Those are gorgeous, Florry! I especially love the first one. Did you use a gradient of some sort there? The set of small boxes is a nice touch.

    Thank you :D

    Ok I didn't use a gradient there, I just duplicated the first layer & I put in on screen...then I played a little bit w/ selective colour, brightness/contrast, colour balance & a couple of textures so that I obtained the background colour (which is a little bit enlightened than it originally was in the cap) & that spotlight you can see on Calleigh's camera ;)

    As for the boxes, it's just a little brush & I played w/ its variations ;)

    Ok today I'm inspired & yeah s2 really kicked in :lol:

    Thank you AnnaDelko :D
    Great icons :thumbsup:. As for that brush in the second icon, I really love it (btw, can I ask you where did you take from? You can PM me or, even better, you can post it in the "fonts/caps..." thread :thumbsup:), though I think the icon was good even w/o it ;)
