Draw an Electric Guitar in Photoshop
In this tutorial, we will draw an electric guitar in Photoshop. We will start by tracing its shape in Adobe Illustrator and then export those paths to Photoshop to add the final touches. Let’s get started!
Tutorial Assets
The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial.
Step 1: Tracing
Grab the stock photo from Photodune and then open it in Photoshop. We want to rotate the guitar. Activate Crop tool and then click and drag outside the crop selection area to rotate the guitar. In earlier versions of Photoshop, you need to select all (Command/Ctrl + A), cut it to new layer (Command/Ctrl + Shift + J), and then rotate it (Command/Ctrl + T).
Step 2
You may also want to expand the canvas area so it is slightly bigger. Save the file.
Step 3
Open the file in Illustrator. In the Option Bar, click Document Setup.
