Semicolor Transparent Chameleon Effect

Here one more not so long, but very interesting Photoshop tutorial how to make unusual semicolor transparent chameleon effect.

First of all, create a new document sized 500×500 pixels, then fill any color, it doesn’t matter for now. Then apply the following layer style to this layer:

• Gradient Overlay

See the result on the picture below. Use dark colors for this effect.

Ok, get out the Custom Shape Tool and find some appropriate shape from the palette:

Drag it onto your canvas like I’ve done in the below screenshot. Use white color for this shape.

Free Transform.

After that apply the following layer styles to this layer:

• Drop Shadow

• Inner Shadow

• Inner Glow

• Bevel and Emboss

• Satin

• Gradient Overlay

We received effect like on a picture below:

Create a couple of shapes more using the same presets to see the effect of the overlay layers.

We are done!
