In this tutorial, we will start by creating a clean base to place our design for true and accurate colors. Then, using Blending Mode techniques, we will use the Multiply and Screen Blend Modes to apply the dark and bright parts of the design and create shine and dimension to keep things natural. We also use displacement maps to simulate the bumps in the fabric and use advanced filters to match the design even more. Using the power of several adjustment layers like Curves and Hue-Saturation, we learn to add depth, drama, and realism to the overall mockup. I hope this lesson helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)
