Step 1 New Document

Create a New Document. The size of my canvas is 600px x 700px with a 72dpi resolution.

Step 2 Background

Now we will create the background. On your 'background' layer add this Layer style by double clicking this layer and adding a Gradient Overlay

Step 3

Create a new layer above your background layer and grab your Rectangular Marquee tool. Make a selection, a little less than half of your canvas.

Step 4

Next, grab your Gradient Tool and make sure that your tool is set to these settings. The gradient is #5B3C70 to transparent.

Step 5

Take your tool and start from the top of the selection and drag it down to the bottom.

Step 6 Illustrator

Now open up Adobe Illustrator and with the pen tool selected, create the shape of a shoe. I created my outline of my shoe in Illustrator because the pen tool is a bit easier for me to use. It doesn't matter what color you fill it with.

Step 7

Now transfer it over to Photoshop by using 'drag and drop' and name it shoe and duplicate this layer. Now apply this color overlay to the 'shoe' layer.
