Welcome To BlogerDesign

Our subject is designing a beautiful interior illustration. I did it on big document in about 150 DPI so it can be easily printed. In this tutorial we'll walk through the basics of Photoshop effects and Masks.

For begin we'll make basic forms and some of the effects and after we'll manipulate these forms sing transformation and distort tools that we have in Photoshop.

So let's get going and start our tutorial by making a document with these dimensions.





... and a new layer.



Grab Polygonal lasso tool and make a selection. Just basic form selection.



Copy the selection into a separate layer.

I've also temporary applied satin layer effect so the layer could be better seen on white background. As you can see I've selected and copied to a separate layer another shape; this time thinner and smaller.

So we got to have 3 layers and a background.



I'm now beginning to color and apply some effects using layer styles. On this one. Here you can see all the effects already applied.



Now let's see these effects. Watch the Screenshots carefully because the satin and bevel angles, for example, should be precise to reach this kind of effect.



















Now you've seen the result and I would like to apply a layer mask to have my object less solid.
SO tape Q to enter quick mask. Use a round black to white gradient on the layer mask. See my layer mask and the effect.







The next and the final stem for this Part will be to create a layer right here.



...and overlay it with this very gradient.
