In this tutorial I will teach you how to draw a school pencil using Adobe Photoshop. The image below shows the result you will get if you follow the tutorial:

Step 1 - Create a new file with ( 400 width x 400 height ), use White for Background color.

Step 3 - Draw a rectangle in the center of the file using rectangular marquee tool

Step 4 - Set Foreground color to #FF9600. Fill the rectangle using paint bucket tool.

Step 6 - Create a new layer from layer > new layer

Step 7 -Go to Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay. Click here:

Change the gradient colors to the colors mentioned in the picture by clicking on the cursor on the right or the left.

Step 8 -Draw a rectangle under the last rectangle we made. Fill it using the paint bucket tool.

Draw another two small rectangles in this rectangle and fill them with a blue color.

Step 9 - Make a new layer and name it ( Under Pencil )

Change the order of the layers so that the new arrangement will be like this

Step 10 -Draw a circle and put it in the bottom of the pencil. Fill the circle with red color using the paint bucket tool.
