Comic Baloon Icon
Tutorial in Basics, Designing, Web
I will show you how to create an icon out of a comic baloon, applying several ((Layer Styles)). You will be able to use it as an icon, button, mark, and so on.
Open a new document, 300×300px, and black background.
Select ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)) and create a white oval as seen in the following image.
Then, with ((Pen Tool)), draw the inferior part of the baloon. Fill it in with white.
Merge invisible the background layer by clicking the eye next to it and go to ((Layer))-((Merge Visible)).
Once you have done this, merge visible the layer. You will see that both layers were unifyed.
Now apply ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((BlendingOptions)).
After applying those styles, you will see our icon as shown in the following image.
Insert a ((Shape)) to the icon, so press ((Shape Tool)) and choose the exclamation sign.
To the sign, apply ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((BlendingOptions)).
To this layer, lower the ((Fill)) to 25%. Now the tutorial is done, do you like the icon?.
