howto make lines to follow a shape...

I wanted to ask which 1 could be a good tecnique... I have this problem:

- a shape behind some "jail" bars
- these bars are shadowing towards the inside
- HOW do I make the linear shape of 1 bar to follow the shape inside... I mean, when the bar goes straight up and it reaches the naked shoulder it should bend on the shoulder...

so how do I make the line to bend? Shall I redraw it (painful) or is there a tecnique?

10x for helpin' me :D

Make a new layer, and yes, DRAW it yourself.. and make it multiply and so on..

Use the pentool to get the curve right.. It shouldn´t be THAT hard to do...

You could always try distort>shear, but i doubt the results will be as accurate as you'd like...If you want it to look right I'd go w/ what paavo said and just redo it.

omg... redoin' it :(

I'll try! But do you ever practice or sumthing?... should I post you result to look at here or to graph check?

In my humble opinion everything You do is practice. At least come to me. Even when I do somethin meant to be used, I concider it practice. Thus I have not the overall knowledge of just doin' things. Everything is a new challenge....

...I fully agree with you! I come from "web graphics" but I love to challenge myself with photoshop that has become my fav program since ever!!!
Many times I lose planty of time fooling around forums and the program itself, I think that'll lead somewhere even though the dumb question always comes out... :D

hey!
I thought about it overnite :D
IO think today I'll try this:

vectorial shape + rasterize + blur + multiply or 60-70% of level percentage

I think it'll work better than hand effort :D:D:D
