Photoshop Tutorial<\/h2>\n

Step 1<\/h3>\n

Use the Pen tool to create the letter shapes and fill them with color.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/h3>\n

To add a shadow to the top part of your letter, double-click its layer in the Layer panel and choose Drop Shadow. Adjust the settings to achieve the desired effect. Uncheck the Use Global Light checkbox.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/h3>\n

Add Inner Shadow to the center part of your letter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 4<\/h3>\n

Repeat Step 2<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 5<\/h3>\n

To edit the shadow separately from the fill layer, go to Layer > Layer Style and choose Create Layer. In the Layer panel you\u2019ll now have two layers: a shape layer and a Drop Shadow layer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 6<\/h3>\n

Use the Eraser tool to remove parts of the shadow.
\nNext, let\u2019s create a grainy paper texture. Make a new layer and fill it with grey color. Then go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 7<\/h3>\n

To add a paper texture feel to your image, choose Soft Light in the Layer panel.<\/p>\n
