Now, let’s choose ‘oval tool.’ Now, let’s create a few shapes. First, let’s create a sphere. Draw holding shift key button. Give it a green color. And now, let’s create a few more shapes. Draw ellipse and give it a white color. Use ‘Ctrl-T’ shortcut and resize it. That’s okay, apply, select the ‘oval tool’, and now let’s create another shape. Create an ellipse here and create ellipse here, and move this layer to the bottom of our layers.
For now, select the black color. Go to our ‘shape tool,’ go to ‘filters,’ ‘blur’ and select ‘Gaussian blur,’ click ‘OK,’ choose radius of 20, change opacity to let’s say 75. Go to our ‘shape three,’ add ‘mask’ select the ‘gradient’ click and hold the left mouse button and release. Okay, that’s great.
Now, let’s change the color. Select the blue color. Go to ‘shape tool’ and change the ‘opacity’ value. Now, go to ‘shape 4’ and change the color. Pick our color from our sphere and make it a little darker. Now go to ‘filter,’ ‘blur,’ and ‘Guassian blur.’ Change the radius value to 25. And now, let’s position our shadow.
