Shirt tutorial

This tutorial is for Photoshop 5.0, but works in other versions of Photoshop as well.

1. Pick the dark colour and draw the outline of the shirt on a new layer. Don't follow the exact outline of the base because that will look odd. Add a few wrinkles around the elbows and waist.	2. Create another layer and fill the shirt with the middle colour.	3. Make yet another new layer and fill that with the middle colour. Make sure it covers the whole shirt area and a little more. This is because if you smudge outside a colourfilled area the edges and colours get messed up.
4. Pick the dark colour and start draw the dark shading, ie the shadow, using the paintbrush tool.	5. Pick the lightest colour to draw the light shading using the paintbrush tool.	6. Next is the smudging! I use the second smallest (size: 3px). It's easier to use a smaller for detailed shading such as wrinkles and creases. Blend the colours well, but it's a good idea to leave some parts less smudged where the wrinkles are more marked. Like the wrinkles around the elbow and wrists.
7. When you're done smudging you want to remove the areas around the shirt. Easies way to do so is to mark the filled shirt layer (see step 2) with the wand tool, invert, go back to the smudged layer, and delete.	8. Et voilà.	9. I've added stripes for a ribbed-look on the cuffs, neck- and waistline.
