Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This Premium Tutorial is Filled with Creative Tips
In my last tutorial, we created a Photo Realistic Energy Drink from a photograph. This time we will be creating a product from the ground up, starting with a sketch. I love motorcycles and I love riding my R6, so I thought this would be a fun project; as I have always wanted to create my own helmet artwork. This is an extremely advanced Photoshop tutorial, so be warned. I know professional designers that have been in the industry for 10+ years that would have a hard time with this one.
If you are a beginner and are unable to follow along, I would recommend opening the Photoshop file to poke around, check out the extras, and look at all the masks, paths, and evidence of how things were created. Sometimes you can learn so much just from poking around an advanced PSD file. A good amount of this tutorial is just based on "look." Depending on how well you paint/illustrate/brush will require you to have slightly different settings than the ones I use (layer mode %’s). If anything, you will see the process and method I used to attack this project.
Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments section, and I will try to answer them as soon as possible. Hope you enjoy!

Looks pretty neat, good job! (:
The air intake’s perspective is off (the lower one a lot more than the upper one).
Otherwise good result.
Sweet outcome but im not entirely sure what use I would have for an illustration of a motorcycle helmet.
Uh, I think the point was to learn all the techniques applied in creating the helmet, which could be utilized in creating anything you might want to create.
There is an industry for designs on motorcycle helmets as well as the helmet itself. As Shane mentioned, tutorials are for learning/developing techniques..
Looks like a good tut to me
Looks interesting.
Reminds me of my racing days…
It looks really good the final result!
The shape is a bit weird but the effects are really nice. So kind of you to teach these many effects!
yes, this is really good one.
Psdtuts needs to stop linkbaiting it’s articles by using the term “Photo Realistic” to describe a non-photo-realistic Illustration. And no, I was not brought here by such a link. I have long lost interest in this site for similar reasons. I’m making the suggestion in a futile effort to save a site I once admired.
I couldn’t agree more
good work. Now all we need is a motorcycle for set ;)
