Spiked belt tutorial

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

1. Draw the shape of a belt on a new layer. If you want a black belt it's better to start with a dark gray colour instead of black.	2. Use the Dodge and Burn tools to darken and lighten the belt just slightly.	3. Create a new layer and draw the spikes. Save an area in the middle for the buckle.
4. Dodge in the middle and Burn on the sides.	5. Add a few lighter pixels on the spikes to give them extra shine.	6. Draw the buckle.
7. Dodge and burn on the buckle.	8. I've added a very faint shadow line just underneath the belt. Take a dark gray colour and draw a line following the belt, on a new layer. Set the layer Opacity to below 100%, wherever it looks good. The shadow shouldn't be too strong.	9. Done!
