TENTACLES


Some simple, yet funny tentacles to use in for example photos, drawings etc. This is a short tutorial on how you can try making a simple tentacle before adding them into your pics :)

 

-Open Adobe Photoshop, and go to "File - New".

-Define the size, for example 500 pixels x 800 pixels.

-Open "Layers" if you don't have them open ("Window - Show layers").

-Make a new layer (press the arrow in the corner of the layers-window and choose "New layer". The background has to be transparent, so on "Color" choose "None".)

-Make a long and thick line in this layer, like shown here.

-Go to "Edit - Transform - Perspective".

-Make a point on the end of it, so it'll look like a long arrow.

-Go to "Filter - Distort - Shear".

-Drag and twist the line that comes up until you get the form you want.

- Press "Ok".

- If you want more tentacles, just repeat these steps (each tentacle's got to have it's own layer!).

 

To make the tentacles a little more exciting, you can color them before you twist them. Like shown here:

Here's a few samples of what you can do...only your own imagination decides the limits! ^^
