So I'm going to have a smaller brush here, and this is my eraser tool. Later in this class, we're gonna show you how to go ahead and work with this so it's nondestructive, which I always encourage people to dio. Why didn't I think of that when it's like because you wanted to take this class? That's why So when I go in, I'm actually going to use my eraser tool here because I'm going to do one of the cardinal stands, and I'm actually going to destroy my drop shadow. I know a lot of people are saying cheese. And one of the ways we can show an object closer to the surface is to bring the shadow slightly closer into the object. So I'm gonna zoom in on this right here, and I'm gonna have a little bit of fun with this. And it's like, Okay, clearly this doesn't work. This as I call his drop shadow in a can because the drop shadow matches the absolute perfect shape of the whole thing. And I can always blur this later, a little bit more. And I don't want that much of a blur because I'm gonna have something that's going to be fairly close to the surface here. So I'm gonna take and I'm going to go into the filter menu, and I'm going to perform a blur on this again. Now, clearly, this looks completely fake, okay? And but that's fine. Turn my bacon back on and I'm gonna select my shadow layer with my move tool. And I can choose a nice, dark, rich, warm bacon e color and I'm going toe option delete and fill that on my layer right there. Turn off my bacon just so we can see what's going on. So now that I have my selection, I'm going to command click on my new layer, and that's going to give me my layer right below. So it's gonna be closer to the surface in some areas and higher from the plate and others quicker for you to grab onto. Nail and you've got yourself your selection, so I would like to add some shadow to this bacon. You can go over to your mask layer, hold down your command key and command, click on your mask layer, and that's also gonna load this election because, most likely, your mask started office the selection so anything it's on a transparent background or any mask command. If you ever see something with a mask on it, you can do the exact same thing. And it's going to select everything on that layer, which forms a perfect basis of your object to fill for your drop shadow. If you have an object that's on a transparent background, you can always command clicked on the thumbnail. You either break him out of the background to put a mask on it. This file actually has a mask on it, and with all of the files that I dio, I always spend the time to. So I want to do a drop shadow on this piece of bacon, and what I've done here is have done something slightly different. Onto the best part bacon, because if you know anything about my classes, they always have to include bacon always.
