Use Photoshop to draw a microphone with a metallic texture.-PS tutorial

This tutorial mainly uses Photoshop to draw a microphone for stereo effects. I like this tutorial very much. Especially the metal effect of the microphone head. Very creative, with unique ideas. let's take a look at it first.

Draw microphone Lesson 1: plug

Lesson 2: Microphone
Step 1: Create a microphone head
1. create a 5x5 file, create a layer, use a pencil with a 1 pixel color, black foreground color, draw four sides, close the background layer, and edit and define the pattern. Because the canvas is small and difficult to operate, please zoom in.

2. create a 500x700 file, create a layer, and select a positive area. The area can be larger and scaled down later. if the circle is too small, the grid is too big to be real. Fill in the custom pattern just now. do not cancel the constituency and perform two Globalizations.

3. do not cancel the selection. create layer 2 and drag it to the layer panel. set the foreground color to white and the background color to black. perform a radial gradient on the selection area.

4. throw and retain the selection area, return to layer 1, and add the layer style: Slope and relief, color superposition (set to overlay Gray)

5. create a layer 3. select the gradient tool and set the gradient. Then, select a rectangular area in the middle of the microphone header for linear gradient. add the layer style and set the direction to bottom, the size ranges from 1 to 2. for other default values, press CTRL + J to copy a layer. the height of the layer is reduced as needed. the style direction of the layer is changed to the top, and the rest remains unchanged. Final

6. close the background layer, merge visible layers, name the merged layers as (microphone headers), convert them freely, and narrow them down to a proper size.

Step 2: Create a handle
1. create a new layer, select a rectangular area in the position, and execute the gradient (still the gradient of the metal effect we just edited) and edit-transform-perspective and adjust:

2. create a new layer, select the rectangular area below to perform gradient, and adjust the color level.

3. add the text, execute the layer-grid-text, and select the text range from the rectangle selection box. the width of the selection area is equal to the width of the handle. Execute the filter-twist-spherical. The number is 80%, and the mode is horizontal. Merge the text and the handle layer and execute edit-transform-perspective.

4. follow the instructions in the figure below.

5. create a new layer, select a small rectangle on the handle to fill the black area, and add the slope relief style. The direction is lower and the size can be 1 to 2 pixels. other default values, to generate a concave effect, create a new layer, and then select a smaller rectangular area to fill in the dark red, and add the slope relief layer style, the direction is the default, the switch button is ready. If you are not afraid of trouble, you can draw a small horizontal line on the red switch to make it more realistic. As for how to draw it, I will not repeat it here according to my habits.

All right, let's merge all layers outside the background layer. Change freely to make the microphone highly visible.
Step 3: signal line
1. create a new layer, select a suitable size paint brush, set the foreground color to a relatively dark gray, use a pen to draw the wire path, then draw the stroke path, and then delete the path after drawing, add a slope relief style to the wire. OK. Note that if the line you draw has a place to cross *, pay attention to separate layers to make a cross * effect. You can create two lines in two layers, and then connect the two lines into one.
