Poker Cards
Tutorial in Advanced, Drawing, Web
All in!!! In this tutorial you will learn how to create very realistic, and professional, poker cards. I recommend this tutorial.
Open a new (500×500px and white background).
Create a ((New Layer)).
Select ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)) and draw a circle in the center of the document. Fill it in with color #bb2525.
Double click the layer to go to ((Blending Options)).
((Drop Shadow)).
Duplicate the layer of the circle and move it 6px towards the left. Go to ((Blending Options)), check ((Color Overlay)), and enter color #8d0000.
It should look like this.
In a ((New Layer)), create another circle but, this time, smaller than the previous. Fill it in with black.
Double-click the black circle’s layer, to go to ((Blending Options)).
((Gradient Overlay)). Use #FFFFFF and #E7E1C1.
After you apply ((Gradient Overlay)), it will look like this.
Now select ((Pen Tool)) to create the white spots that poker cards have in their edges.
Create a ((New Layer)) and, with the selection active, fill it in with white.

Afterwards, it will look like this:
Before you go on, create a ((New Layer)).
Select ((Shape Tool)) and choose and draw a pick, a heart, a diamond, and a clover.
Now write the number of the poker card. Use Times New Roman.
Then, on the text layer and go to ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Stroke)).
Now write “One Hundred”, using the same font. Select ((Warped Text)) (it is pointed out in the following image, with a red arrow) so that you apply a curvature to the text. Use the values I entered below.
Duplicate the layers (Ctrl + J) and place them one above the other. This will be the result:
