- Photoshop tutorial on how to add shadows to type manually using the Pen tool.
On this video, you can see the process on how to create shadows to text using the pen and brush tool. You can use either a ready font or a custom lettering design as a base, then make selections on the places you'd like to create the shadows and finally draw them using a smooth brush. In addition, you can see some extra stuff, like coloring the shadow to add a shade of the background color or whatever you think matches the design. Also, in order to decorate your text you can see how to add strokes/lines, using the pen tool as well.
The video ends with some extra things like adding a radial gradient at the bottom, like a shadow of the whole letter, and using adjustment layers for better results.
The adjustment layers I used, are the Color lookup, the Curves and the Brightness & Contrast layers whcih helps to improve the colors and the appearance of the design.
The idea of this technique is to give the text more depth and details to look more realistic and interesting.
For this kind of designs, I suggest using a pen tablet like Wacom Intuos, because it really helps to create smoother lines and curves.
I tried to include as much information as possible but still keep the video short, meaningful and interesting. However in order to follow the process some advanced knowledge of photoshop is needed.
If you have any questions let me know in the comments and I will try to explain more about the process.

Hey everyone! Hope you like this video. Let me know if you have any questions about the process!
The font I used called Inkinity and is available on the description✌️
You are literally creative😍
nice video!! Top step by step tutorial.
Thank you very much!! 👍
oof, you did good, just I'm a beginner and I'm unaware of how to change brush tips
could you show the brushes you used??
For the shadows I usually use just a smooth circle brush from the default ones. It is just that I select the area with the pen tool of where I want to add shadow.
Just as i was asking myself how would this program vectorise a Gleam or in this case an occurring shadows..
You can’t vectorise in Photoshop. You need illustrator for that, but if you’d like to vectorise a ready shadow, the result will not be very good, you better create the shadow from scratch inside illustrator in order to look good.
Ah? Suppose i missed the PS bit..
Was referencing the area your allotting for shadows/shades in this video..
Does Ai do that...
