Ice-Cream Tutorial
Scoop Cone Putting together & adding Sauce
1. Wafer's are always nice on ice-creams. You can get my Wafer tube here. Create a new layer on top of your sauce. Choose the wafer tube - replacing & re-sizing on the ice-cream as required. To make it look more "part" of the ice-cream, this is what I do - lower the opacity of the wafer layer so that you can see the sauce through it. Using the Freehand Selection tool, trace around the bit of wafer you imagine would be stuck in the ice-cream, then delete that selection and make the opacity 100% again. Create a layer behind the wafer and using the dark brown or whatever colour you used for the shadow on your sauce & the Airbrush, draw around the edges of the wafer where it's stuck in the ice-cream. Then apply a Gaussian Blur of about 4.
2. Maybe you want a strawberry on their as well. No problem, download my strawberry tube from here. As with the wafer, place it on a new layer. I do the same thing again, lowering the opacity and cutting out the bit that's in the ice-cream. Just to make it look that bit tastier, I add a bit of chocolate sauce onto the berry as shown on the previous page. Because the berry is smaller than the ice-cream sauce, make the Airbrush smaller & decrease the Gaussian Blur to 2 or 3. I create all elements of the ice-cream on different layers in case I mess up, which I do more often than I'm willing to admit :-)You can create a layer under the strawberry & it's layers of sauce & add a bit of shadow as well if you like.
3. For a final splash of decadence, you could add some vermicelli - I have Chocolate & Colourful you can download. Create a layer behind the Strawberry & Wafer & sprinkle liberally :-)
