Use Photoshop "3D transform" filter to draw a pencil

Filters are well known that Photoshop is a graphic design software, but with its "3D transform" filter You can also create some simple 3D effects. The 3D Transform filter provides three standard models of "cuboid", "sphere" and "cylinder", in addition to modifying the model through the node Note tool to create more stereo effects. We'll use the filter to draw a pencil below.

1. Start Photoshop CS, create a new white canvas, create a new layer, perform the filter → render →3d transform command, open the 3D Transform dialog box, select the Cylinder tool on the left side of the dialog box, drag in the preview window, draw a cylinder, and then rotate the model using the Trackball tool. The model produces a stereo effect as the barrel, as shown in Figure 1.

2. To draw a good pen to copy, press the CTRL+T key to enable the free conversion command, the copy of the reduction, deformation adjustment, and then placed in the cylinder below as a pencil pen. Next, execute the "image → adjust → hue/saturation" command, respectively, the pen and the color of the pen to adjust, to deploy their favorite color.

3. Create a new layer, use the elliptical marquee tool to draw an oval selection, fill it with black, resize it, drag it to the end of the pen as the lead, and then use the same method to draw the tip, as shown in Figure 2.

4. Combine the core, pen and barrel into one layer and add a "drop shadow" layer effect to it. Then select the Type tool to enter text in the image, set the text to white, and add a black stroke layer effect to it. Finally, the free transform command is enabled to adjust the perspective angle of the text, as shown in Figure 3.
