Wanna know some adobe photoshop tricks? I hope you know the basics of how to use adobe photoshop.
Going through that photoshop tutorials you will be able to draw like a pro!
1. Create a new document in
adobe photoshop (size 250 * 550). Start drawing the contour of wine with the help of
Pen Tool and
Convert Point Tool:
2. Rasterize the layer.
Here is the basic
adobe photoshop elements. Select the content of the layer holding down "
Ctrl" and clicking on the layer on the layers panel.
Set up the colors :
EE5141>
8E0F04. Select "
Gradient Tool", choose type "
radial" and fill the selection with gradient filling as shown below:
3. Now let's portray the upper surface of wine. I'm using
adobe photoshop cs3. Make a selection using
photoshop brushes "
Elliptical Marquee Tool". Create a
new layer. Fill up with gradient using the
same colors, but with type "
linear":
4. Now we can start drawing the glass. Here we will use some
photoshop effects. To have a better visibility let's
create the background, for example,
gray gradient (use color
111111> 666666):
5. Select the layer with the upper surface of wine and load the selection. With tool "
allocation" selected, press
Shift + "
Arrow-up" on keyboard six times. Thus, we raising up the selection. To observe the laws of perspective, choose
Select> Transform Selection and reduce its height. Then choose
Select> Modify> Border> 2px.
Create a new layer and fill up the selection with white color:
6. Let's
add a mask to the layer and place the gradient from right to left, as shown on the picture:
7. Create a
new layer with
transparency=20% and with the help of "
Pen Tool" draw the flare:
8. Create a
new layer and using "
Pen Tool" draw another flare on the right side with
transparency=10%. Now
change the transparency of the layer with the rim, for example, to
50%:
9. Select "
Pen Tool" and draw a figure as shown on the picture (
on the new layer!):
10. Then
rasterize the layer and
create a selection.
Fill up with
black color and put behind all the layers.
Create a selection to remove the part of the black figure that we don't need:
11. Remove unnecessary part.
Duplicate the layer (
Layer> Duplicate Layer) and
flip duplicate horizontally(
Image> Rotate Canvas> Flip Canvas Horizontal) combining with the original layer to get the right figure:
12. With the help of "
Elliptical Marquee Tool" draw the base of the stalk and
fill up with black. Let's
combine all the elements of the black figure in the
one layer.
13. Using "
Pen Tool" outline the area on the base of the stalk, leaving the dark area on the edges:
14. Now choose "
Make Selection", "
Select> Feather> 2px". Select the layer with the stalk and press Delete. Next, using a "
Rectangular Marquee Tool" and
Select> Feather> 1 or
2 px (depending on the thickness of the stalk) remove an area within the stalk. Then, using the "
Pen Tool" draw the figure at the bottom of the stalk:
15. Create a selection.
Cut and paste it on the
new layer at the
same place where we have been cut. Use the
mask on that layer .
Draw a gradient from the top to the bottom:
16. Using "
Elliptical Marquee Tool" select the area on the base of the stalk.
Cut and paste it on the new layer at the
same place and change the layer
transparency to 65%:
17. Then you can add some
flares with the help of the
brush. The glass can be placed on the any background.
Note: It is not a complete tutorial with the tools list and step-by-step instructions. But I can say that you can get such a results using just burn tool and dodge tool. And remember: practice makes perfect :) Fell free to ask questions and leave comments.
