<p><strong>Step 7</strong></p>
<p>When u finish with giving final shape of layer, duplicate him and put him behind.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33" title="7" src="http://www.tutoriallounge.com/wp-content/uploads/7.jpg" alt="7" width="500" height="500" /></p>

<p>Now open new set and put duplicated layer inside. Then go to Layer&gt;Merge Layer Set.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-35" title="9" src="http://www.tutoriallounge.com/wp-content/uploads/9.jpg" alt="9" width="500" height="500" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 10</strong></p>
<p>Go back to first layer and give Gradient Overlay. Use 4 grade of nice sky blue color.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36" title="10" src="http://www.tutoriallounge.com/wp-content/uploads/10.jpg" alt="10" width="500" height="598" /></p>

<p><strong>Step 13</strong></p>
<p>Ok. when finish with coloring, open new set. Put both layers in set and merge layer set. Go to transformation and use Perspective transformation.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-39" title="13" src="http://www.tutoriallounge.com/wp-content/uploads/13.jpg" alt="13" width="500" height="501" /></p>

<p><strong>Step 15</strong></p>
<p>Duplicate new layer, and with tranformation tool give position like in picture. Looking in gaudlines you can see how it must be.</p>
<p>Clear all layer styles from this layer and color in black with brush.</p>
<p>Just give selection to layer and use brush tool.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-41" title="15" src="http://www.tutoriallounge.com/wp-content/uploads/15.jpg" alt="15" width="500" height="500" /></p>
<p><strong>Step 16</strong></p>
<p>Then with Pen Toll draw missing part&#8217;s, and with that we gona visually line up both layers.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-42" title="16" src="http://www.tutoriallounge.com/wp-content/uploads/16.jpg" alt="16" width="500" height="500" /></p>
