  • Discover how to easily create natural shadows using the Layer Technique in Photoshop! In this tutorial, we will use the concept of shadow hardness and intensity to paint a shadow layer by layer. Using Opacity and Blur Gallery filter as powerful tools in our arsenal we will make sure that the shadow maintains a smooth and natural gradient.
    This lesson will cover the concept of how a shadow is constructed, followed by using fundamental tools like Layers, Opacity, Field Blur, and Tilt Shift, to simulate a real shadow. We will also learn a unique trick where we use grain to make the shadow more realistic. I hope you enjoy this video. Thank you so much for watching :)

    Great content. Also, my 2 cents - usually colors from the object will reflect to the background and pollute the shadows. So to make it look more natural, you can add a little bit of the object's color to the shadows. In this case a little cream/yellow color.
