- I've created simple panda silhouette with thee several spots and 8 shades of gray, glack and white.
- The panda's body pose is from the real panda photo.
- You don't need to draw body from scratch, you may use any actual panda photo. Just separate animal image from background.
- Apply Gaussian Blur Filter to panda layer(~3-5px). The background should be transparent.
- Download hair brushes. Choose Smudge Tool and one of the hair brush. Adjust strength 70%. Move this tool from inside part to the panda color spots to edgest. Try different size brushes to find which one is working better for different areas.
- After creating fur, add several sharp details.
- You may draw nose with the small brushes or just paste nose from the panda photo or other animal photo with the similar anatomy.
- Create small eyes with the regular Ellipse Tool, apply preset Photoshop style "Black Anodized Metal" to them.
- Draw small nails with the regular small brush (2-4px).
- Place pandas above the text layers.
- Group all layers except the background. Duplicate the group. Merge duplicated group. Go to Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical.
- Move this layer down to create reflection. Place this layer below pandas & text group and above the background and white spot.
- Add Layer Mask to the reflection layer. Fill it with the black and white linear gradient.
- Set Opacity 30% for the reflection layer.
- Ctrl + Click layer Layer Mask, to load selection for the white part of the Mask Gradient. Go to Select > Inverse Selection in order to select bottom part of reflection. Make active reflection layer thumbnail (not the Mask).
- Apply Motion Blur filter to the selected area of reflection.
- Duplicate reflection layer. Apply Multiply Blending Mode to it and Opacity 100%.
- Fill it with the layer mask with the Black and white gradient but in the very top part.
- Duplicate previous Multiply Blending Mode layer, remove and apply gradient Layer Mask.
- Apply Gaussian Blur Filter to this layer.
- Shrink this layer by vertical, make it 50%-60% smaller.
- Apply dark green color effect to this shape.
- Play with layer Opacity to find better setting for natural looking shadow:
And here is the result!
