Tutorial originally posted over at teamgrifter for the 'Eliot Wallpaper' challenge. I promised a couple of Hitters that I'l post it once the heist was over... so here we go! And, if you're interested, I am actually right at this moment creating a gallery of 'Hide' screencaps (the CK film these screencaps come from. :) It will be here once it's ready!

What we're gonna do is take you through the making of this wallpaper, step by step.

Over on llmcrorysbar 2cbetter2 was asking for iconning tips and referenced this icon of mine as an example of what she's looking to achieve so… I wrote a tutorial for it. This is for Photoshop Seven and uses Curves and one Selective Color layer. It can be done without the selective color which makes it compatable with other programmes.

Programme: PhotoShop 7
Level: moderate
PSD: nope, sorry.

I finally caved and came up with two tutorials for colourings. They're the same basic methods but with very different results. Made using Photoshop 7 but are transferable to other programmes I think. So...

From this to ( Colouring tutorial 1 )

And another one! From this to ( colouring and finishing )

And another one! I got a lot of appreciative comments about the colouring of this icon when I first posted it, unfortunately I don't have either the PSD file or the original screencap anymore… So I remade it. It's the same method and is close...

From this to

( colouring again )

Any questions - fire away! I don't have access to Paint Shop so I probably won't be able to help with that I'm afraid. All finished icons are shareable with credit.
