Metal Plate Tutorial

Intro:

This Photoshop tutorial will show you how to create a metal plate using different textures, brushes and other techniques. Below is the end result of this Adobe Photoshop tutorial.

Step 1:

First of all you have to download some brushes we're going to be using for this tutorial, download the brushes now. Now open up a new canvas with the dimensions 500px width and 200px height, you can use other dimensions though. But I think it would be better (if your a beginner) to make the tutorial entirely the same as me just for practise sake. Fill your canvas with this color: #DFDFDF, you should have something like.

Step 2:

I hope you unrarred your brushes you downloaded in the previous step, if not do it now . Select the brush tool . Then Follow the following image to load the Blood Spatter brushes, click on the red marked arrows, then click Load Brushes.

Step 3:

Set your foreground to: #a0201d, this is a nice dark red for the blood spatters, and make a new layer called "Blood spatters". Now add a cool blood-spatter with the brush tool, I've taken the one with the most spatters and has brush size 298 as default.



I've flipped the blood-spatter.

Step 4:

Just like you did before for the blood spatter brushes now load the metal brushes. Then select the top left metal brush. There are only 2 metal brushes you just loaded, a top left part and a bottom right part, you'll see when your selecting your brush. Set the foreground color to black #000000, make a new layer called "Metal brush", make the brush size 400px instead of 300px. Then click once in the top left corner of your canvas.



Now select the bottom right corner brush, increase the brush size to 600px and click once in the bottom right corner like below.
