I'm only gonna post this tutorial in a few communities because I saw some people were getting tired of all the cartoon tutorials I do. Which is fine, they don't have to read it if they don't want to, but I don't want another bashing incident. So here we go! This was made in Photoshop CS2, but I did not use selective coloring this time, so it's most definitely translatable! :)

 to this:

1. Open up your pic. Crop it, with your aspect ratio being 1x1, and resize your pic after cropping it to 100x100. This is your base.
2. Duplicate your base once, and set the blend mode to screen, opacity set at 100%.
3. Make a new layer. (Layer+New+Layer or in PS, Layer+New Fill Layer+Solid Color). When that's done, fill your layer with this color: d09f7a. Set your blend mode to multiply and opacity to 69%.
4. Make another new layer. Set this one to color burn 100%, and fill it with this color: acd4f9.
5. Make a levels adjustment layer (Layer+New Adjustment Layer+Levels). Leave your blend mode and opacity where it is. In the RGB mode I used these settings: 0, 1.10, 246.
6. I think my icon needs some enhancing. So I make a hue/saturation adjustment layer (Layer+New Adjustment Layer+ Hue/Saturation). I increased my SATURATION in the MASTER mode to +27.
7. It's coming along, but there's 1 last thing we need to do before we're done! I made a brightness/contrast adjustment layer (Layer+New Adjustment Layer+ Brightness/Contrast). Increase your brightness to 15, and contrast to 25.

Done! :) See that was easy! Add text or brushes if you want to, I left my icon alone!

Remember:
-No bashing!
-No hotlinking!
-Comments are ♥
-Credit required if using an icon!
-Textless icons are NOT bases!
