How to Create Shadows from Scratch in Photoshop!

Показать описание

Discover how to easily create natural shadows using the Layer Technique in Photoshop! In this tutorial, we will use the concept of shadow hardness and intensity to paint a shadow layer by layer. Using Opacity and Blur Gallery filter as powerful tools in our arsenal we will make sure that the shadow maintains a smooth and natural gradient.

This lesson will cover the concept of how a shadow is constructed, followed by using fundamental tools like Layers, Opacity, Field Blur, and Tilt Shift, to simulate a real shadow. We will also learn a unique trick where we use grain to make the shadow more realistic. I hope you enjoy this video. Thank you so much for watching :)

Great content. Also, my 2 cents - usually colors from the object will reflect to the background and pollute the shadows. So to make it look more natural, you can add a little bit of the object's color to the shadows. In this case a little cream/yellow color.

I watched a lot of your tutorials even videos released 5 years ago.

I don't know how to thank you for your help, you supporting people more than people who support you.

Literally you are the best Photoshop teacher, and I really respect you and your great parents who came up with someone so helpful like you.

Thanks for everything, i love you bro (no homo).

Your student from Yemen.

I love your videos. You teach in a way that allows anybody to understand, what you are doing, while producing indredible work. I am just a hobbyist. Whenever I need to solve a PS problem, I see if there is something related to it on your channel - and usually, there is. Thank you for your content.

Wow! This will make a tremendous difference in the way I see, imagine, and create shadows. I could place those bars of soap outside in the sun and the shadows wouldn't look more realistic. No more being afraid of one's shadows in Photoshop!
