Creating a drill type image in Photoshop

This tutorial will show you how to create a drill type image in Adobe Photoshop in a few well laid out, easy to follow steps.

Final image:

First of all, you need to create a new image.  I made mine 400x200 px.

Then you need to draw a rectangle horizontally across the image like this:

Go Edit > Transform > Perspective and drag the corners on the right of the rectangle towards each other so that your shape should now look like this:

Once you have dragged the corners together, press enter to deselect the Transform tool.

Now go Filter > Distort > ZigZag.

If this box pops up, click OK.

You should now see this window:

Make sure that the Style is set as "Pond ripples", and change the "amount" and "ridges" until you have a shape that you like.

I have:

• Amount: 25
• Ridges: 6
• Style: Pond ripples

Your image should now look something like this:

Now go Image > Rotate Canvas > 90˚CW.

Now go into your Blending Options panel.

Tick the following boxes:

• Drop shadow
• Outer Glow
• Inner Glow
• Bevel and Emboss
• Contour
• Satin
• Gradient Overlay (make sure that the opacity isn't on 100%)
• Pattern Overlay (again, make sure that the opacity isn't on 100%)

And you're done!

Here is my final image:
