Hi all.

I'm new on Photoshop and now learning from teacher.

My teacher gived me homework, that i can't do.

Trying, but failing.

As you see on image it's very well made effect, so question is:

1. How to make 3D-like Curling line?

2. How to make Fabric (on RealDRAW name is Fabric, but RealDRAW is drawing tool, not a "professional photo-editor") like Background, it's too like Curled or 3D-like.

I will be happy if some can teach me, or have YouTube/Vimeo video-course.

Thanks.

Sorry for bad english

Try this

Make a new layer

Draw a path with the pen tool

Stroke the path with a soft white brush (Select the brush then stroke the path using the symbol at the bottom of the paths panel)

Pick the path selection tool (black arrow) and move the path down and to the right slightly

The stroke with a soft black brush

Set the blend mode to luminosity and reduce the opacity to around 16%

You can go on to put further shading on the new layers as required

Hope that helps

Dave

What makes that image is highlights and shadows.

If you take a mid grey image and add a darker color to one side and a lighter side to the other it will appear to push out.

Stop = Location

In the attachment I created a gradient with 5 stops. Stop 0 = 50% (B)rightness | Stop 33 = 33% B  | Stop 50 = 50% B | Stop 66=66% B | Stop 100 = 50% B

Because Stop 0 and stop 100 are the same as stop 50 I can use a short gradient. Photoshop assumes anything in front of stop 0 should be that color and anything after stop 100 should be that color. Therefore I can make it look like the entire page is a single color before and after that gradient.

If we add a blend mode to this layer, it can look like it is part of a texture or another solid color.

    Radial gradient can create a curve. The above was just an example to show how shadows and highlights affect the image.

    Knowing this you could use a brush and make sweeps or even the pen tool and apply a brush stroke to the path.

    Knowing that, you can take a linier gradient and create a brush.

    When I get a moment, I will see if I can create a quick brush and apply it to a stroke for an example.
