Creating cartoon fruit can be a great way to add color and enhance your websites or artistic projects. They can be used as accents in the headers or titles of your website or used as logos in your business cards and letterhead.
In this tutorial, we'll learn the step-by-step process for creating fruit in Photoshop.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Create a new file of size of your choice.
2. Create a new layer by pressing shift+ctrl+n together. Name the layer fruit.
3. Select Ellipticle Marquee Tool and draw a circle in the middle of the canvas.
4. Choose (#FDE227) as foreground and (#FE3D17) as background color.
5. Select Gradient Tool by pressing 'G' and then select radial gradient. Fill the selection from top to bottom.
6. Right click on Fruit layer and select blending option.
7. Select Stroke, color = (#7E0101) and width = 1. Press ok.
8. Again select Elliptical Marquee Tool and draw a circle as shown in the figure at the bottom of the fruit and press delete.
The fruit should look like that shown in the picture.
9. Choose custom shape tool and select leaf as a custom shape. Draw leaf in proportion of the fruit. While drawing leaf, press shift. Change the color to green (#0C6800).
10. Rasterize the shape 1 layer by right clicking on its name and select raterize layer.
11. Duplicate the shape 1 layer by pressing ctrl+j.
12. Rotate both of the shape layers to obtain the shape like shown in the figure below.
13. Link both of the leaf layers as shown in the figure and after that, press ctrl+e to merge them.
14. Move them just above the fruit layer like shown in the figure and draw a line to connect leaves to fruit.
15. The last step, select the fruit layer by clicking on its name. Now select brush tool (feather 17), press D to change color to default black and white. Press x to select white as a foreground color and draw a white area as shown in the figure.
16. You have a fruit now. Do not try to eat it :-))
