Now go to gradient tool and choose three range of colors 1a0d16, 1a0d16, and f28ccc. Use the gradient that you made to create a nice smooth background. Step 3. Select the type tool. Write anything you like with a simple text, I choose leaking word itself. When you are working with the type tool Photoshop will make a new layer automatically. Make a new layer on the top of your text layer. Then add some lines with 80% opacity under your leaking text. You can draw that with brushes or wacom tablet. your gonna have something like this. there is no need to be neat now. step 4. Take the eraser tool with 70% opacity and try to clean it a bit. After that work with details and shadows, until you are satisfied.
Step 5 We have to connect the words and the leaking lines, so use the smudge tool. with 50 strength and normal mood. Be patient with this tool and try to be gentle with this tool. This will take a little practice. Step 6. Go ahead and take some splash brushes. You can download them free on brushezzy.com or other websites. just pick whatever you think is suitable for your work. Step 7. Then go to free transform and by holding Ctrl on the corners of your splash brush, bring it to the perspective. Step 8. Use the smudge tool to connect splashes on the floor and the lines. Smudge tool is a great way to connect two shapes with fading. Also, you wont need to blur your images in order to connect them to each other. Try to be very specific and detail with this step. This will make it more natural. Step 9. Its almost finish. I'm gonna give it some texture on the corners, by burning tool and brushes. Using burning tool, you can make the contrast more, and that will give a great effect to your image. Remember don't over do it because we want it simple. Hope you liked this tutorial.
