Convincing Shadow in Photoshop — 2021
Hey, this is Sarah, and in this Photoshop quick tip, I’m going to show you how to make your own very Convincing Shadow put under objects in Photoshop.
Okay, so I’m working on this Photoshop mock-up, and I have this mug that I created.
I want to put some shadows underneath it, and so it’ll end up looking something like this.
These are the ones I’ve already made but let’s do it from scratch.
Okay, I’m going to hit command D on my Mac to deselect. If I turn off the mug, you can see what it looks like.
First, we’re going to grab our move tool. Then, once I’ve clicked, I can use an arrow on the keyboard to kind of scoot the black shape down.
We want a slightly dark, pretty black area right underneath the bottom of the mug, and then the shadow layers after that will get increasingly lighter.
So they’ll be a little bit gray here and then even lighter and lighter, still stretching out into the shadow.
So let’s duplicate this layer and drag it down onto the dot now because the light is coming in from the left. And the shadow is on the right.
We’re going to have more Shadow in Photoshop over here on the right side than on the left, so keep that in mind if we go in here and duplicate this and then say filter blur motion blur.
If the light was coming straight down from above, you could see there’s an equal shadow on the left and right side, but we’re going to have it more just on the right.
But first, what we need to do is just make sure that we drag it like do we want it much wider or do you want it much closer?
Do you know how far we want this to stretch? I’m going to do a medium because I’m going to be altering this and you’ll see okay hit okay.
Now what I can do is transform edit transform or free transform, and you can see the keyboard command for that.
I’m just going to scoot it in on the left so that the shadow really only exists on the right. I’m also going to kind of angle it well sees how that looks.
I think the light might be sort of in the front, so it’s going to angle toward the back, and I’m going to hit a return that looks pretty good. Let’s duplicate it again.
Hit Tran’s free transform again stretch it out even. Further, I’m going to make it a little bit wider. We’re going to angle it a little bit more and further.
Let’s see if it’s a little bit less, and I want it up so high and hit return. Now things are getting too dark, so let’s go to the lower layers and start to lower the opacity on those, so the idea is that.
