ANOTHER STAR DUMP!!

An updated tutorial on how I make my stuff. Yeah no one fucking asked for this but I felt like updating it since it’s outdated.

First, grab your png. You can find pngs on pinterest by searching up “Rentry resources” or “Png dumps” on Tumblr. Anything works.

Now, grayscale that png. “But why, iTrapped?” If you don’t grayscale it, well, in my earnest opinion and experience…the colors look funky…and not up to my taste.

Make a new layer, now. And then clip it.

Now, let’s head over to the paint bucket and follow the setting I did.

Choose a color to make it pretty. (Use the paint bucket to color it for you by tapping on the screen. Do this on the layer that you clipped.) For me, I’ll be going with blue. AFTER you choose a color, you can choose the blending mode for it. I’ll be doing overlay as I’m used to it

Guess what? Now we get overlays. Choose any that appeal to you and slap it on. That’s what makes graphics beautiful!

Hold your horses, we aren’t quite done yet. Now, go on the layer where your png is — and click on “Filters.” Choose “Stroke (Outer)”

Fool around with the settings and do what you like the most. After this, click on “Stroke (Outer)” again. But this time, use a lighter color (since I chose a dark outline. But if you did a light outline do a dark one.)

One more step, now, click on “Glow (Outer)” this last step is like the previous one. I’ll be doing a dark outline.

Final result:

Now, since you know how to do the basics (like making this — you will repeat this process with making a graphic)

TIPS AND POINTERS (though it’s how I make my stuff:)

“How do you format/make the graphic, iTrapped?” Well, you usually grab a frame, like what I stated in step one, resources here and other apps are essentially the best. Once you grab that frame, put a character or picture behind that frame (behind the layer that the frame is on.) After that, go BONKERS! (Well that’s what I do…since I just slam on pngs, chibis, etc around the frame.)

If your png has dots, just carefully erase them and you’ll be ok. (I’ve seen others also recommend bg removers, they are pretty good.)

You CAN use graident maps if you desire, but usually I go on Pinterest to find colorings for my edits.

Try to take inspo, maybe from an editor you admire. But again, try to be creative. (This is honestly how I make my graphics and stuff.)

Stroke and glow are like the goats, it defines the png more and you can see it much better than just coloring it and calling it a day.

Never rush yourself to finish a graphic, pretty obvious I know but still. Editblr and editing is for fun, not a competition to see who makes the best edits.

Overlays are really good, you can fool around in the “Blending Mode” to see what you end up with.

If you have any questions or need help with something, send me an ask in my inbox and I’ll help.

Thanks for tuning in on iTrapped’s tutorial.
