PART II


Hello everyone, I am back with 초 part of the 기사 “How to make icon”. If 당신 haven’t read first part and want to read it it’s <a href=”link> here </a>

So, today I’ll explain three things. That are “Uses of brush and “How to use Color Balance”. All the two are related with coloring effect and glittering of icon. Which plays an important role.


Uses of brushes : First of all 당신 need to download different types of brushes, usually pattern brushes (like floral brushes and background 디자인 brushes) are less need in making 아이콘 so refuse to download them, instead Karl 별, 스타 brushes and Sparkle brushes are very good for it. If 당신 use Soft edge brush then it’s just perfect as it add special touch to the icons. One of 아이콘 (which 당신 can see) is looking like it’s glowing because of “soft edge” brush. So in all it give awesome result and 당신 don’t have to do so much of “hard work” for it. And remember don’t use it “too much” and it can spoil your icon, two three times using it is enough.

On the other hand, 당신 can use “soft edge brush” in other way too.
Steps
1. Increase size of brush
2. Choose color (try yellow as it 슈츠 every icon)
3. Decrease opacity (don’t decrease tolerance as it’ll decrease color’s density)
4. Apply brush (soft edge brush) on edges only.
5. Here 당신 go, 당신 can see yellowish effect in your 아이콘



Now comes the 초 topic “Color balance” 또는 “Channel Mixer” it’s basically used to give color effect and very easy to use.
In color balance, 당신 can adjust the color accommodation. 당신 can increase reddish/cyan effect , green effect 또는 yellow effect. It’s the easiest thing and really give great look to your icons.



In part three I will tell 당신 how to add texts , it’ll be totally based on texts in 아이콘
