High-heels 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 shoes on a new layer. Make sure you don't draw the heel too long.	2. Create another layer and fill the shoes with the middle colour.	3. Make yet another new layer and fill that with the middle colour. Make sure it covers the whole shoes 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 using the paintbrush tool.	5. Pick the lightest colour to draw the light shading.	6. For the smudging I use the second smallest (size: 3px).
7. When you're done smudging you want to remove the areas around the shoes. Easies way to do so is to mark the filled shoes layer (see step 2) with the wand tool, invert, go back to the smudged layer, and delete.	8. Et voilà.	9. I've dodged some for a more shiny touch.
