Step 44 Honey Drips

Now we will create the honey drips. I made mine in Illustrator. Usually what I like to do is open my Photoshop honeycomb file in Illustrator so I know where my drips should go. Grab the pen tool and form your drips.

Step 45

It is best to have each drip on a separate layer. Now transfer them over to Photoshop. Duplicate each drip layer. I will start with my drip on the right top corner. Select the top drip layer and add these layer styles. Note: Rasterize each layer and make sure that the top layer has a Fill of 0%
