color me bad

[krickets]

I don't normally do this, but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find tutorials dealing with Supernatural screencaps. I've been making icons for a while now and I think I'm fairly good with coloring and improving images, but the muted colors and dark caps from SPN are driving me totally batty. I feel like, no matter what I do, everything is tan - for the most part. That's an exaggeration, but you get the picture.

If anyone knows of any tutorials that were made either using an SPN screencap or specifically about how to deal with SPN screencaps, that would be great. Let me know!

ETA: I have noticed a big majority of SPN icons are B&W. I'll definitely do the same, but I'd like to find some color in there too.

Welcome in the frustration club! LOL When I gave up SPN icons and moved to icon some other fandom it felt so refreshing! Ugh, those colors... those caps are a pain to icon! I must say I have never found really good SPN icons around(apart from b&w) especially when it comes to colouring. I love the work of oxoniensis... she is one of the best SPN iconers around IMHO. Her set of 2x01 is still one of the best around.

Unfortunately I have no idea where you could find tutorials... good luck! :P

I hope to find some, I have gotten some results but I'm super picky about my stuff. It's such a headache but I wanna icon it goshdarnit!

I have used her textures but I didn't realize she iconned SPN. I'll have to check her out. I mean... you know what I mean. Hehe.

Thanks!
