Create a Realistic Wine Bottle Illustration From Scratch

Delay This tutorial took me a day longer than I anticipated to write (you’ll see why from the number of steps), but I hope you enjoy it! Final Image As always, this is the final image that we’ll be creating: Step 1 Open up a new document and go to view>show>grid. Then use your path tool to draw a path in the shape of half a wine bottle. Take your time with this step in order to get a really nice shape. Use a photo for reference if necessary. Step 2 Create a new layer called ‘bottle shape’. Then go to your paths palette and click ‘load path as a selection’. Then fill your selection with black. I had to go in with the lasso tool and tidy up a copy of edges. Duplicate this layer and go to edit>transform>flip horizontal. Then move the duplicate to complete the other half of the bottle shape. Then merge the two layers together. Step 3 Then go to layer blending options for this merged layer and apply a gradient overlay ranging from black to 110202 back to black.

Fill background with radial gradient (press G to activate gradient menu) with colors #1773e3 and #0b3972: Step 2: Star Creation Although we will create night effect, we need again to create some stars. Now create new layer ( CTRL+SHIFT+N), right above the background, fill it with black ( choose black and ALT+DELETE to fill). Go to Filter–>Add Noise and add settings like on picture below (amount 20-30): To get lesser amount of white noise, go to Image–>Adjustments–>Brightness/Contrast: Change Blending style to Color Dodge: Step 3 : Ground creation Press CTRL+SHIFT+N to create new layer ( look at screenshot at my layers palette so it’s the same like mine). Then select rectangular marque tool (press M) and do selection like this: Let’s use line

Third Place Tutorial Winner This is the third place winning tutorial form the PSDTUTS First Tutorial Writing Contest . See the results of the contest here .

Click the screenshot below to view the full-size image. As always, the layered Photoshop file is available via our PSDTUTS Plus membership . Step 1 Before we start we need to find our inspiration. For this tutorial, I used this photograph I found at Stockvault . After downloading the image, open it in Photoshop.

Then grab your Pen Tool (P), and make sure it's set to Paths. Step 3 Hold Ctrl + Space to select your Zoom Tool. Then zoom into the model's face. Trace the outline
