Little People Icons

by Matt Kloskowski

ExtremePhotoshop.com

Hi, and welcome back. For some reason, I've been infatuated with icons lately. You may

have seen the tutorial I created in the last NAPP Newsletter on emoticons. I received

such great response from it that I thought I'd take it a step further. If you're a windows

user, you may have seen the little windows people scattered throughout the system

folders in XP. If you're not a windows user then you most likely have seen them

somewhere anyway. Here's a quick way to create them.

Step 1: Create a new 500 x 500 pixel Photoshop canvas. Fill the background with a nice

blue color. I used R:111 G:146 B:250.

Step 2: Create a new layer named BODY. Select the Elliptical Marquee Tool and draw an

oval. Then hold down the Alt/Option key to subtract from your selection and draw

another oval at the top of the body for the head. Set the foreground color to a light gray

(R:171 G:171 B:171 ) and dark gray (R:108 G:108 B:108) as your background color.

Then select the radial gradient tool and drag a gradient from the top down.

Step 3: Now add the following Drop Shadow and Inner Glow layer styles to this object.

Step 4: Create a new layer named HEAD. Draw another oval shape with the Marquee

Tool. This time, set R:252 G:173 B:62 as your foregrounnd color and R:214 G:138 B:42

as the background color. Drag a linear gradient from the top down over this selection.

Step 5: Add the following Drop Shadow and Inner Glow layer styles to the HEAD layer.

Step 6: Great. Now we have some selections work to do for the head. First, create a

new layer named HAIR. Then draw a large oval selection that encompasses an area of

the head. Don't worry about the area that extends beyond the head shape.

Step 7: Now Ctrl/Cmd + Alt/Option + Shift + Click on the HEAD layer. This intersects

your HEAD layer selection with the active selection you created in step 6.

Step 8: Fill this selection with R:171 G:16 B:15. Then, apply the following layer styles to

the HAIR layer.

Step 9: Next, use the polygonal lasso Tool and select some small jagged shapes toward

the front of the hair.
