pool ball tutorial

today we did a tutorial on how to create a pool ball in photoshop. this was the end product
the way we did this was we used the gradient tool to create the background look then after that we created a new layer and made a ball buy using the selection tool then edit and fill.
after that we used the burn and doge tool to create a highlight and shadow on the ball. on a new layer we made a black circle and then i used Gaussian Burr to make it blurred then i moved it to were the shadow would be. after that i used the select tool and made a weird shape from 3 ovals and saved the selection then i made a selection of the ball and again saved it then i loaded the circle selection and the loaded the weird oval shape selection and clicked subtract from selection. then we chose select and inverse.
then we filled it with white. we then made a clipping mask and rubbed away some of the white so it was almost invisible.
