I will show you how to get this reflected-glass effect for your artwork or the one you are working on:
First, put the color of your glass in A2B4BE or if you already have the shape, then just go to Blending Options > Color Overlay and apply it.
Now go to Blending Options and use these settings (just change the ones listed):
After this, duplicate your glass layer with Control + J and name it Reflexion1. Holding Control click on Reflexion1 layer, (before continuing, please select your Marquee Tool) then right-click inside the selection and select Feather and set it to 15 pixels (the number may vary depending on your glass size), now put your mouse inside the selected area and holding Shift, drag it down a bit and press Delete on your keyboard several times (again, it depends on your glass size) and apply these Blending Options to the Reflexion1 layer:
Color Overlay
Blend Mode: Normal
Color: White
And it should look like this:
Now, duplicate the Reflexion1 layer with Control + J and name it Reflexion2, now, we do the same as before but you leave it thinner like this (the Reflexion2 is in black so you see how thin):
We are almost done so you must have something like this:
The only thing left is some extra reflections in the middle, for this you will need to get a duplicate of the complete glass layer and place it at the top of the other and name it Reflexion3.
With Reflexion3 layer selected, do the same as we did to the first Reflexion1 (the Feather thing) but lets break it up:
After you feathered the selection, bring it down to half the glass:
and press Delete, then press Control + Shift + I (to inverse selection) and bring it up a little:
and press Delete again and thats it, you are done.
I hope this tutorial helps you for getting a nice reflected-glass for your artworks as it worked for me.
