MY SHADOW MAKING





This week , I learned how to make a basic shadow manually not by available tools such as filter in Photoshop. I realized that making a shadow of a picture by our self is more real than using available tool because we can control the picture flexibly. I tried at home.
Firstly, I used pen tool to crop the picture, cope 1 more cropping picture. In the copied picture, I used level board to make it completely black and after that used blur tool to make it blur. After that , I used transform/distort to make the shape of the black shadow change depends on the direction of the light, make it feel suitable with the main picture. Finally , I used layer style/ gradient to make the shadow gradient ( dark in the bottom and light in the top of the shadow).Complete.
