Creation of Punisher: Step 1

step 2 of 3

Body parts were made by filling a new custom shape for each body part with a medium red. Then a new layer is created above the shape and linked above by holding alt and clicking between the two layers. Shadows are created with a soft black 5% opacity brush and highlights are made with a soft 5% opacity brush. A new layer was filled above each layer and the style "Gun Metal Neutral" was applied. The Gun Metal was then set to blend mode overlay. Additional lighting was achieved with a new layer filled with black and set to color dodge. Highlights were then painted with a soft white 5% opacity brush.
