its Tool Mode to Shape in the Options
Bar. Set the Foreground color to bright red
(#ff2234) and create the double triangle
logo associated with the Black Widow
character. Because the shape has only
hard angles, there’s no need to click-and-
drag with the Pen tool; just simple clicks
will work perfectly! Drag the shape layer
below the Model’s Outer Glow layer, and
change its name to “Logo Shape.” Set the
blending mode to Overlay. Press Com-
mand-J (PC: Ctrl-J) to duplicate the Logo
Shape layer and set the duplicate’s blend-
ing mode to Soft Light.Step 14: Create a new layer above the
Logo Shape copy layer by c licking the
plus icon at the bottom of the Layers
panel. Set the Foreground and Back-
ground colors to the default black and
white, respectively, by pressing the D key.
Go to Filter>Render>Fibers and c lick OK
to use the default values. Fibers only ren-
der vertically, so use Edit>Free Transform,
and c lick-and-drag outside the bounding
box to rotate the layer to horizontal, and
then scale it up to fill the frame. Press
Enter to commit the transformation.
Next, go to Filter >Blur>Motion Blur
and use an angle of 0° and Distance of
2000 pixels. Click OK, and name this
layer “fibers-motion blur 2000.” Set the
layer’s blending mode to Overlay and
reduce the Opacity to 50%. If it looks like
the texture needs more contrast, use a
Levels adjustment and pull both outside
handles inward toward the center below
the histogram.
