Next we will create the hourglass shadow. Create a new group named “Shadow” on top of the “Bg grd” layer. CTRl-click to select “Base lwr large surface” layer. from within the “Base upr + lwr” group. Then create a new layer within the “Shadow” group named “Base shadow area”. Fill the selection with Black color. Duplicate this layer and rename to “Base shadow contact”. Then target “Base shadow area” layer and Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur then type 3 pixels and click OK. Next Filter > Blur > Motion Blur then type 100 pixels as Distance and Angle 0 degree.

Next target “Base shadow contact” layer and Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur then type 2 pixels and click OK.

Press Down Arrow key to move down the “Base shadow contact” layer a little.
