hi!! i’m sorry to ask, i’m very very new to editing, but how do you pastel edits like your icon without white washing? do you have any tips or anything? :O thank you!!

hello and thank you so much for your question!

i'm definitely no editing expert but i'm happy to explain my process behind the icon in question as well as some of the other icons i've been working on!

first, i just wanted to shout out a few great blogs that have tons and tons of resources and tutorials to help get you started with editing, like @usergif, @completeresources, @dailyresources, and @pscentral.

also here are some very helpful tutorials for pale/pastel coloring without whitewashing:

this tutorial by @fadenet.

this tutorial by @mohanas.

this tutorial by @blueshelp.

this tutorial by @zoyanazyalensky.

alright and now i'll go step by step below the cut to explain the coloring process! ♡

please keep in mind that i'm completely self-taught in photoshop but i've been editing & coloring for about nine years now, so i create all of my coloring myself. i recommend having at least a basic knowledge of how to color things in general, but if not i recommend some lighter/non-heavy duty psds (like those from @colorarepsd).

for reference, here is my current icon with the coloring overlayed the original image, so you might better visualize how this technique works.

i find that the most important and vital step to editing still images without whitewashing is to quick select all showing skin in the image and to duplicate that layer. this allows you to make the background, clothing, etc. all pale/pastel without completely washing out the skin. you can color however you like after this step.

for example, i open the base image and quick select all showing skin. this doesn't need to be perfect or seamless, so don't worry too much about it. it should look something like this.

i then duplicate the base image, keeping my selection intact. in the new layer copy, i delete the background so that the layers now look like this:

your base image should look completely unchanged. i then deselect the selection using that tool and proceed with coloring. to begin with, i add adjustment layers over both the original and the copy layer.

i add adjustments like hue/saturation, brightness/contrast, levels, etc in order to neutralize the yellow and to subtly desaturate the rest of the colors while making sure that red/magenta is still saturation. it is very important not to desaturate yellow/red too much in this step in order to make sure that you don't whitewash the image.

here are all of the adjustments that i used. (if you want me to go step by step through each one and what i did with it i can lol)

at this step, the icon looks like this, which is pretty but not quite as pale as i'd like!

next, i select the base layer and begin to add more adjustment layers to further make the image pale/pastel. this allows me to make the background as pale as i wish, like so:

these adjustments are all more extreme and severe as i don't have to worry about the skin color or if i'm whitewashing or not (since we have the layer above that is not being affected by the lower layers). now my icon looks like this!

this method works very well not just for poc edits but also for any sort of situation where you might want to preserve the original skintone. because there's adjustments over the copied layer and the base layer and i didn't desaturate the red any, the selection is seamless.

it's possible that you might be able to tell where you've selected and in that case, i recommend taking the time to select the skin showing more carefully. in most cases, however, that's really not necessary.

i don't know if i explained well at all but this is the trick that i use! thank you so much again for the question and please let me know if you have any further questions <3

So I just finished watching Clone Wars - my brother and I are trying to prepare for Ahsoka on Disney Plus so we wanted to finish that and Rebels - and I'm, like, UPset at how well Anakin was fleshed out in the series. To the point that when signs started popping up and what we all knew was gonna happen ... happened? I was truly distraught. This has no point other than I saw you say you're going back to Anakin in your tags and me being a nerd was like OH maybe I can talk to someone about this cuz I have no one lol other than my brother who is tired of hearing it :P Sorry!

I was told to watch Rebels and clone wars before watching Ahsoka so i’m gonna do that!!! i’m excited!!! i love him so much, he’s all over my tiktok lmao

Vash the Stampede: hi my name is Vash the Stampede. I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Love. all I really want to do is have a sandwich and a morning coffee without getting chased by bandits

some bandit: (gunshot) absolutely not. square up faggot

Vash: rats.

[gunfight]

Vash the Stampede: my name is Vash the stampede. I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Love.could I please have a sandwich

Meryl from the Bernardelli Insurace Society: how long are you going to sit on your ass doing nothing but playing games with children and doing chores for the elderly and disabled and looking after lonely youths and cooking dinner for the homeless

Vash: I've been here for like 2 days

Milly Thompson: Hi Vash!

Vash: Hi Milly

[exit left pursued by bounty hunters]

Vash the Stampede: (panting, entering a bar) my name is Vash the stampede.... I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Good L*rd what is going on in here

Hostage: mphdsfhapff!!!! mffmpphhf!!!!

Villain of the week: well if it isn't the elusive Vash the Stampede! you see it all started when I was 4 days old and you kicked me like a football and then exploded my parents to death with a laser canon and killed every puppy in a ten ile (translator's note: this is the No Man's Land equivalent of the American Mile) radius

Vash: I don't remember doing that but well I suppose you can shoot me if it'll make you feel better

Side character of the week: Are you insane? Just shoot him instead???

Vash: but my mom told me not to be mean to people

Villain of the week: (still going) And as I am now 47 years old I have finally decided to get my revenge. Say your prayers, Vash the Pisshead

Nicholas Dickolas Wolfwood: (brings his fingers up to a pair of luscious lips to grab the cigarette from right between them, taking one more slow inhale before crushing the cherry red underneath his heel)(sensually cocks one of his 8 guns) Are you just gonna let this guy talk down to you like that needle noggin?

Vash: I g-

[guitar riff bumper]

[guitar riff bumper]

Vash: -uess not, since you're here to help now... (slow, warm smile) Wolfwood

Nicholas D. ranged Wolfwood: Vash

Milly who was also in the background this whole time: Hi mr priest man! isn't this lovely, I haven't seen you since the last time you spoke with mr Vash yesterday evening when you were helping him buckle all those silly belts on his pants after he had lost them somehow

Vash: On a cactus

Milly: On a cactus! Oh it must've hurt so terribly; how fortunate that Mr Priest man was there to help you

Wolfwood: Hi Milly

[gunfight]

Villain of the week: ohhhhh curses!!! CURSES!!!! I have spent my whole existence getting ready to fight Vash the Stampede but he's just too good at swallowing all my bullets!!!!!!

Vash the Stampede: my tragic dead mother would be sad if I didn't swallow everyone's bullets so I've trained diligently every morning at digesting gunpowder without dying immediately

Wolfwood: [internally: I can't believe it. All this time I've spent walking the path of darkness, reaching to a pure light that I could never grasp, and yet here is a man who's dedicated his life and his body to the pursuit of Peace. I wish he were a woman so I could fuck him romantic style. I've got a whole plan for it and everything. Whiskey, sunset, a bed with no sand in it, 6 hours. This would be fully and completely possible if only he were a woman. Unfortunately he's not, but I can still think about the what-ifs. platonically of course. Maybe if he got some good dick he'd stop being so annoying. And maybe he'd stop making me rethink my morals. I wonder if the seven drunken handies meant anything to him. Platonically]

Wolfwood: Well anyway it looks like my job is done here

Vash: (teary) Will I see you again?

Wolfwood: I don't know. And besides, whenever I look at you, I'm reminded of everything I hate about myself. You know, it hurts.

[exit Nicholas D. Wolfwood pursued by repressed homosexual desires and immense catholic guilt]

Vash the Stanned Peat: (looking out the window like a widow whose husband was killed in action) Nicholas... D... Wolfwood.......

Meryl who was in the background that entire time, yes, the whole time: shut the fuck up already

Vash: when will it be my turn Meryl. When

Since it's almost Christmas, what presents would you give to your friends?

What food do you hate so much you would never eat it?

𐰬

Oooh... For the guys here it'd be a big proper christmas dinner, haha. I think I'd get Alex a sweater for sure. For Bad Cop probably some recipes or a recipe book, and for Good Cop I think I'd get some nice pretty little indoor pots. Gosh there are so many, do you really want me to list them all? Um... Oh! And cauliflower.

✲ I would give Em a snuggly hoodie I saw. It is like a wearable blanket with a pocket pouch and it looks very fluffy. Threes, I would give a big cuddly bear or a very soft cushion. Roach would get one of the fancy multi tools that has the different parts you flick out or a wood carving set with proper little tools. Snowball would get some paints and tiny little paintbrushes and also fluffy socks. Rex would be cuddly dinosaur most surely. Maybe one of the hoodie things also. For food it would be a translation potion Vetruvius gave to me when I first arrived there, haha.

≜ G Ge Get every yone some s socks or or someth th thing, I gue uess. And d cauliflower.
