Decorative illustration - domino lamp

Welcome in making a decorative illustration tutorial. Well actually it’s an illustration that represents some of design elements of a product too. I didn’t actually figure out the true look and all the design elements of the domino lamp but this illustration will definitely help me do that.

So let’s go then.

I’ve chosen the document with such dimensions but actually I will crop it for search for better composition in the future.



I actually start with the gradient but this time it is quick mask tool to start with.



I use different gradient maps for Qmask.







Visual Effect:







Tap

Q to exit the Qmask. Now all that you got is a selection. Actually the Qmask along with color overlaying is a gradient, but anyway Qmask method can be usefully used in different situations. For example you can transform and warp the selection like you want. This way you can get and interesting and complex selection.

So be it:











Here I will use gradient to overlay my selection.







Now create a layer between the two we already have:



…And just poor the standard black to white gradient (with more black) on the layer.
