Vector Melon

This technique was used to create the logo of KiwiDesigns.nl. Now I'm gonna teach you how to get those vectorised melons!

Step 1

Create a green circle in a new document with the color #28451F

NOTE: hold Shift while selection a circle to make it perfectly round...

Step 2

Create a smaller circle on a new layer in the green circle with the color WHITE

Step 3

Then, on a new layer, create an even smaller circle with a random color

Step 4

Select the layer and then create a radial gradient on a new layer with the colors #C60000 and #811010

Step 5

Create a new layer and fill it with black

Step 6

Go to Filter>Noise>Add Noise and set it to the max

Step 7

Go to Filter>Blur>Radial Blur and make it look like mine

Step 8

Press CTRL+G and set it to multiply

Step 9

Lower the opacity a little bit

Step 10

On a new layer create a black orb in the middle

Step 11

Then select it and select the blur-layer and go to Edit>Feather and choose 20px

Step 12

Use the standard photoshop-waterdrop shape to make the seeds

Step 13

Cut a round shape out of it

Step 14

Then add some blackness to the melon by creating a black circle and press CTRL+G to group it!

Step 15

Then lower the opacity and your melon is done!
