Learn to create tentacles. These tentacles looks beautiful on any layout. A very handy tehnique to impress someone.
Start a new document of size 300x300 px. Create a new layer and draw a rectangle using the rectangular marquee.
Now fill the rectangle using the following gradient. You will get something like this.
Now we need to make a sharp tip for the bar. To do this go to Edit>Transform>Perspective. Here you need to pull the down block that is show here in orange to it's right so that we get a sharp head.
Now we need to twist the cone in order to get the tentacle effect. To do it go to Filter>Distort>Shear.
Use the following settings now.
This is what I got.
It's done you can duplicate the layers to get more tentacle and you can add more effects to it too.
This is what I got as my final result.
