How to Draw a Photorealistic iPhone 4 in Photoshop

Choose to Filter > Noise > Add Noise and apply a 25% noise filter.

Now choose Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and apply the following settings:

Angle: 90°
Distance: 999 pixels

Step 28 – Add a glow to the upper area of the wallpaper graphic

Create a new layer then set the foreground color to white. Load the selection of the “Screen” layer (Ctrl+click on the layer thumbnail or Layer > Load Selection). Use the Brush tool (B) to paint the top area with white.

Change the blending mode of the current layer to Overlay.

Choose Filter > Blur > Motion Blur and apply the following settings:

Angle: 90°
Distance: 125 pixels

This is what your image should look like.

Step 29 – Add contrast to the base layer

Select the “Base” layer then open the Brightness/Contrast tool (Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast). Make sure that the “Use Legacy” option is off. Set the contrast to +85 then click OK.

Step 30 – Draw the front iPhone camera

Now we’ll draw the camera used for the FaceTime feature on the iPhone 4. Create a new layer then use the Elliptical Marquee tool (U) to create an oval like the image below. Fill it with gray.

Select the Burn tool then apply the following settings in the option bar.

Master Diameter: 10 pixels
Range: Shadows
Exposure: 7%

Select the Lasso tool (L) to create a rough selection of the bottom left half of the oval like shown in the image below. Choose Select > Modify > Feather and feather the selection by 1 px.

Select the Burn tool (O) to burn the edge so that your camera looks like the image below.

Step 31 – Add a lens reflection to the front camera

Select the Brush tool then apply the following settings in the option bar:

Master Diameter: 6 pixels
Hardness: 50 %
Mode: Normal
Opacity: 100%

Set the foreground color to #002149.

Create a new layer.

Add a blue spot using the Brush tool (B) on the edge the front iPhone camera like shown in the image below. Choose Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay and apply the settings shown in the image below.

Step 32 – Create the speaker

Create a new layer.

Use the Rounded Rectangle tool (U) to create a shape like shown in the image below. Use the Rotate tool (Edit > Transform Path > Rotate) to get it aligned with the iPhones perspective. Right click on the path then choose Make Selection.

Use the Dodge and Burn tools (O) to create a bevel like shown in the image below. To do this, use a small brush with a hardness of around 50%. The brush size should be about the width of the speaker. Dodge the bottom area then burn the top area. Finish it off by selecting the Brush tool with a hardness of 75% and painting a gray stripe in the middle of the speaker.
