Draw a Realistic Steam Iron in Photoshop

Step 43 – Metal part

Over the Background layer make another one (Ctrl+Shift+N) , rename it "iron part " and using Lasso Tool (L) make a selection like this (43A)

Fill the previously selection with a dark gray color , I used # 6d6a63 (43B)

Step 44 – Metal effect using Dodge Tool

On the "iron part" layer , make next path using Pen Tool (P) (44A)

Transform the path into a selection (right click on the path->make selection) like in the next picture (44B)

Make next settings for Dodge Tool(O) :

Master Diameter : 43 pixels
Range : highlights
Exposure : 24% (44C)

Use Dodge Tool (O) with the settings above to make a metal effect on our "iron part" layer (44D)

Step 45

Now make another path like in the next image using Pen Tool (P) (45A)

Transform it into a selection , add some highlights using Dodge Tool (O) to make a metal effect and you should obtain something like this (45B)

Step 46 – Text

Type which text you want (I used Myriad Pro Font ) (46A)

Place it on our Steam Iron using Free Transform function (46B)

Set the blending mode for the layer on "Color Burn" (46C) And you are done!
