Step 1: Setting Up

Make a new document with these settings:

Next, select the fill tool (G) and fill it with #626262. Now, we need to make a new adjustment layer. Make a brightness/contrast layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast). Put it on these parameters.

We add this adjustment layer so as everything looks better in the later stages.

Step 2: Making the Circle

Select the circular marquee tool and use these settings:

Make a selection and fill it with #649ad2. Then, grab a soft eraser, on a low opacity, and erase some areas like this:

This is so that it looks more 3D, and later on, it’ll add a nice transparent feel to our icon.

When you’re happy, and you have a similar result to the one above, add these Layer FX to it, to make it look better.

You should now have something resembling this:

Step 3: Making the Circle 3D

Inthis step, we’re going to make the circle look 3D. The theory of thisis simple. You think about where the light is coming from, then addshadows and highlights to fit your light source ifyou keep this consistent, then you’ll have a much better final result.Below is some light theory that should make it easier for you.

OK, grab your circular marquee tool, set it to 10px Feather and make it 200px by 200px. There are many different ways of getting highlights/gloss and shadows. My favourite, and I think one of the best ways to get gloss is like this.

Change the layer mode to multiply

And then, with white as your foreground colour, add this Layer FX

Shadowsare much easier to make, and in a way, more powerful. You can have morehighlights than shadows, because shadows are more obvious. For ashadow, simply make a circle, you can vary this and the feather px.Then, you can set it to soft light, overlay or of course, normal, it really comes down to which one you like best.

Withthe shadows, you can make them very discreet, yet they still play avery important part in the eventual outcome of the icon. Highlights areless noticeable, so you can add more of them, but with shadows, theyplay a bigger part; and have more of an impact.

The worst thingyou can do when shadowing is zoom in too far. When you do that, youcan’t see the whole image, and so you can’t really tell if it looksright. Make sure that when shadowing, you can see the whole image, andyou’re thinking about what you’re doing!

By now, you should havea well highlighted and shadowed 3D sphere, resembling this. Don’t worryif it looks a little strange at this point, it’ll all come togetherlater on.

Step 4: Adding Detail

Now,that looks OK. I added some highlights on the right that add a lot; Iused the highlight technique described above. In this step, we aregoing to make those really nice 3D looking lines. The way to do this issimple, which we’ll find out in a bit.

Select your pen tool and get a brush size of 3px wide. You want to use these settings for the pen tool.

Next, we want to start drawing paths like this:

Set your brush size to around 3 – 5pxNow, for PC users, press right click > stroke path, for Mac users; CTRL + click > stroke path. When you stroke paths, there are two types of stroke paths. With simulated pressures and without simulated pressures. Here is an example of both.

If it doesn’t work, you may need to reset your brushes here’s how to do that:

In the next step, we’ll work out how to make these lines aid the 3D look.

Step 5: Detailing the Detail

You probably have some white lines now, looking 3D, but not merging into the icon. Set the layers to soft light or overlay, you can also lower the opacity and/or the fill of the lines. You can also get a soft eraser to erase some areas to make it look more 3D.

Ifyou look carefully, you will also see not only the very distinctcircles, which I’ll tell you how to do later; but also the very faintones. To make both of them, grab the circular marquee tool with these parameters:

You can then edit the layer styles. For mine, I simply set the opacity to 50%. But you could set it to soft light or overlay.

For the faint ones, but it below every ‘line’ layer, and set it to soft light or overlay and lower the opacity.

In the next step, we’ll make 3D paths, that really add to the image.

Step 6: 3D Paths

This is a really short step, but it adds a lot.

Firstly, get your pen tool open, and then follow these steps.

Step 7: Making the Basic Box

If you want to have something to trace around, you can do so around here. But of course, if you want to make your own, go for it! When you’re tracing, use the pen tool, and make each side on a new layer. Then, fill the paths with white (#ffffff). Then add these layer FX to every side.

On the ‘front’ sides, set the fill to 15% and the ‘back’ sides to 10%. This’ll get it looking transparent.

In the next step, we’ll work on making it more 3D.

Step 8: Highlighting the Box

Rememberthat highlight technique earlier? Well, use that technique on pathslike this. Make a new layer above each box ’side’ and then make a pathaccordingly. To make ’swirly’ paths, make two points, then; click inthe middle of the path and drag it up/down left/right and it’ll make anice path. Have a look at this example.

Then, select the right ’side’ layer and press CTRL + SHIFT + I or for Mac users CMND + SHIFT + I, then press delete. In the next step we will look at adding more detail into the box.

Step 9: Adding Details to the Box

Inthis step, there’s not going to be much writing, more annotatedpictures. I am using the techniques for stroking paths, highlights andshadows that we looked at earlier to make the box, and anything youseen in these pictures.

Step 10: Making Everything Glow

Thatlooks good, but… Not full of that striking glow. To get something toglow, it’s really easy. Simply get an airbrush, 100-300px and justpaint on white. For background highlights, make new layers at thebottom and highlight there. For more centralised ones, do it on top,and maybe in a smaller brush.

To get a better glow-type look, adding lots of layers on 5-10% opacity will look much better than two or three on 40%. You can also add blue highlights to give it more of a glow.

Step 11: Finishing Details

Theicon looks good, but it’d be nice to add a bit more shadow. Make a newlayer at the top (behind your contrast one) and fill it with black(#000000) and set the fill to 0%. Then add these layer styles and you have a nice shadowed look.

And you’ll have a nice shadowed look to your image.
