Now I will use Shear filter in Filters > Distort > Shear.

I really like how it looks now but let’s take it a little bit further.







AS you can see I got rid of our layer copy. I usually use the copy to check out the effect.

And now I like to speak about how you can use the filters to transform the shapes and give certain effects to them.

I’ve tested all of the filters but I’ve chosen the best in my opinion – Ink Outlines filter



Moreover I’ve filled my gradient with black to transparency gradient and overlaid the whole layer with pattern in layer styles.







Now make a layer under the firs one and just overlay in with basic black to white gradient.



Use plastic Wrap filter on the gradient layer.



Now the next step; select the color range tool and make a selection similar to that.



Further the selection by 15 pixels and copy it to a separate layer.
