Let's start with the fun!
poisonfield asked for this first tutorial.
I hope this is useful, but if I haven't explained enough or have any doubt just ask! :)

Let's begin with this picture (I freaking love it!).
Crop the picture, duplicate it and sharpen as you like.
Color her eyes (I used this colour #19074b) with brush tool.


And now let's do the hair! Those pretty curls need more attention!
I painted some parts of her hair with this brush tool with the same color as her eyes.

Set to Normal, 49% of opacity.
And another layer, painting more curls, but with this colour (#7e5c6b) instead. Normal, 100%.
Something like this:





Texture time!
I want to apology in advance! It seems I can NEVER remember to name the textures I save.
I'm so sorry! If anyone knows the makers, please, let me know and I'll edit this post.
Let's start with this one:

Set to screen 100% opacity.

Make a new gradient map on black and white and set it to soft light to add more contrast.
And we have something like this:


I felt like I needed to dark the corners so I painted those parts with a dark blue.

And set it to soft light.



Her hair wasn't having enough attention, so I made more curls with
a lighter pink color. But this time in Normal mode, 100% opacity.


And now that flower texture on her face! I was looking for something strange.
And there's nothing better than Lana Del Rey + Flowers, so!
I used this texture, I resized it and erased the hair and other bothering parts.
Set it to Darken, 59% opacity.





And we're already done!
I added a color fill layer with this color (#312d34) set to screen, 36% opacity.
Then, I added this texture set to soft light, 83% opacity. Another one set to screen.


AND WE'RE DONE!!

I'll have the rest during this week, I hope ;)

You'll find out that 98% of my icons are pretty simple lol.
You are very welcome! :)

Whoa, I love this! I'm so amazed that a simple flower texture set to Multiply could give such an unsettling effect! The result is so amazing and I'd loved reading your process; I'll definitely be trying some of these techniques soon! :D

This tutorial is amazing - I really love that icon and the texture use on it. :) Such a wonderful tutorial.

May I ask what font you used to write 'tutorials' and 'step 1' etc.?
