How to Create Perfect Shadows in Photoshop

How to Create Perfect Shadows in Photoshop

A shadow helps any subject look grounded in its background. This tutorial makes creating the perfect shadow easy and fun!

Shadows are complex, so use many layers.

Shadows can be difficult to create in Photoshop because they are very complex. Shadows start out dark and fade out as they move farther from the object. The easiest way to replicate the complexities of a shadow is by creating multiple layers with multiple shadows and blending them together.

Learn how to use the Gradient Tool and a few layers to create realistic shadows in this episode.

Use the Gradient Tool to Create Shadows

Shadows are darker at their core and fade out as they get farther from the center. You can achieve the same effect using the gradient tool.

Start by selecting the gradient tool and picking the ‘Foreground to Transparent’ gradient in the ‘Gradient Editor’. Next, choose a radial gradient and on a new layer, click-and-drag outwards to create a radial gradient.

Next, transform the gradient by pressing ‘CTRL/CMD + T’. Flatten the radial gradient out and size it accordingly to the object. If needed, change the opacity of the gradient or use the eraser tool to remove excess shadow.

Opacity and Hardness

The areas closer to the object will cast harder, darker shadows and the areas farther will have lighter, softer shadows. To replicate the effect, create different layers with different gradients on them. Move the layers into place to achieve a realistic shadow.

Let’s get wet in this rain effect tutorial (that totally didn’t sound weird) so its pretty simple manipulation, i mean its long but not very complicated.

For the rain i am using brush. yes i know you can create rain using noise and motion blur but that just does not look very good. While brush saves time and looks much better effect.

I will use that noise and blur this though, but i will use that to provide some texture and atmosphere. That way we also don’t need to use any background image.

wut ? wut ? no background image ? wtf ? well surprise, surprise. If you use black and white gradient and some curves, you can make decent background and it actually goes pretty nice with this phtooshop effect.

For adjustments i will use shadows and highlights plus some color balance and to make her wet ( sounds so wrong) i mean to make effect look better we will add a filter, and to find out that filter watch the damn video.

If your ass is stuck somewhere while practicing, use the comment section, its not for fookin showoff… and yeah take care ^_^
