How I made the scar- production update 1

How I made the scar-

First I picked a clear font and wrote the word 'scars' using capital letters, I then added a layer and carefully drew over the word using a skin colour, I then deleted the template as it was no longer necessary

This (above) is what it looked like when I removed the template 

I then had to change the layer filter to 'kind' and set the blending mode to 'lighter colour'- then I began to add effects

 'inner shaddow'

 'outer glow'

 'inner glow'

'bevel and emboss'- with this effect I added contour and texture to make it look more realistic

This was the final product of all the effects combined

Finally in order to make the scar more realistic, I changed the opacity to 60%

This is the final product- I like the fact that it is a bit imperfect as scars aren't meant to have a 'perfect' shape
