Open a new transparent canvas 500x350

You will need a tube similar to mine
Flood fill this canvas with a dark colour to match your tube

With your selection tool on 'freehand selection' point to point setting-select a part of the tube to use as a pattern. I drew around where the belt is at the waist. Don't make this a rectangle as it won't give such an interesting effect

Paste this as a new image-then paste it onto the canvas as a new layer

 See the screenshot if you aren't sure what I mean

Effects-artistic effects-topography-default setting.

Image -resize 300%-that layer only.

Move this to the top of the canvas-layer duplicate-image flip-arrange on the canvas as you wish as this will depend on the shape you selected from the tube.

Layers merge visible

Add a new layer and flood fill it with a gradient-linear setting- to match your tube

With your selection tool on rectangle. Draw rectangles on the canvas one down at the left hand side and some across then press delete so that the pattern below shows through. Select none

Effects -3d-drop shadow-Horizontal and vertical 5. Opacity 50 and Blur 5

Reduce the opacity of this layer to 60

Click on tube and make sure that you have no selections on it- selections-select none

Copy and paste the tube as a new layer reduce the opacity to 50 and position to the left of the canvas -move this layer below the layer with the rectangle cut outs

Copy and paste the tube again as new layer and-layers arrange-bring to the top. Image mirror and arrange near to the first tube.

Add the drop shadow to this tube layer that you used before.

Image-add border-size 2 in a colour from the tube.

Image -resize as you wish.

Add a new layer for any text. Layers merge visible.

That's the tutorial finished.

I hope that you enjoyed doing it
