Hallo and welcome in making a plastic pepper project wallpaper. So in this case we'll take Photoshop as our basic tool - create some custom brushes: maybe 1 or 2 - and use this brushes to visualize the idea and develop complete design.



So let's start by creating a document and brush creation.



Let's create a brush. As my brush rough sample I will take standard PS round soft edged brush.

So take this brush and change some of its parameters:



Shape:



Scattering:



Will also use color dynamics - meaning that you should take care what Foreground and background color you have in our tool box.



Other dynamics:



Save the brush as a new brush preset: as see it in action.



We have these colors for Color dynamics.



So another wonderful thing that I really like is that you can change brush color modes.

So change the mode from normal to overlay and turn wet edges ON in brush settings:







And just take a look what wet edges and different color modes can do.





Change, but just a little bit: the level of the picture and do also change the colors (effects the color dynamics).







Isn't it looking like bubbles?



So I really want to apply a distorting filter and twirl (Filters > Distortion > Twirl) it is.



Zoom in and out - drop some highlights - just set both: foreground and background colors to white.



To expose plastic effect even more apply Plastic wrap filter in Filters > Artistic > Plastic wrap.



So a think this is it for the whole Graphic part. So when you feel that all the shape is correct just flatten the image: select the side area and apply brush to it.



Paste some text:











So this is for our small plastic project. Hope you like.
