Hello, In this tutorial I'll be teaching you how to make an icon with a render & textures. Please be aware, you must have some Photoshop knowledge to complete this tutorial.
Firstly, open Adobe Photoshop whichever verson, and go to file --> New --> and make the dimensions 100x100. Now you have a blank canvas, with nothing on it. So now I will get a photo from google
It's to big, so I resize it by going to EDIT --> FREE TRANSFORM and I make it smaller to fit my 100x100 document. Now this is how your design should look like so far:
Now you can download a texture pack, you can find one
HERE. Just download one of the packs and open one in photoshop, and drag it into your current design with your player. Now it should look like this:
Now by clicking in the layer panal, where it says NORMAL there should be a drop down box, you can now choose HARD LIGHT, it can vary for different textures, usually you can try LIGHTEN, OVERLAY, SOFTLIGHT and even SCREEN, you just need to experiment. Now you should get a nice little icon like this:
Now you're done, just add some text. After that create a new layer, click CNTRL+A , go to EDIT --> Stroke --> 1 px stroke outside.
And you're ending result IS:
