Let’s take a look at the renderings first:

Create a new document, fill the background with gray, and define the size yourself.

Set the foreground color to white and use the Ellipse Tool while holding down Shift to draw a circle.

Then execute "Select"-"Modify"-"Shrink" and set the value to 15.

Then create a new layer, execute "Edit" - "Stroke", set the stroke to 30, the color to black, and the position to the center.

Create a new layer and apply the stroke again.

Draw a circular selection and press Delete to delete the selection contents.

Draw the selection in the same way.

Draw a black polygonal shape.

Go to "Edit" - "Transform" - "Distort" to lay out the shape of the football surface.

Copy other shapes.

Create a new layer and draw some lines, paying attention to the direct connections.

Add color overlays and embossing effects to lines.


Creating shadows is very simple. Draw a black ellipse, then use Gaussian Blur and lower the Opacity to 50%.

Flatten the layers until you are left with the background layer, shadow layer, and ball. Then delete the gray background layer.

Open a stock image.

Drag it over and use it as a background.

Select the "ball" layer and load the selection.

Make a gradient fill.

Adjust levels and color balance.

Use the Magic Wand Tool to select all the black color of the ball, then go to Filter-Artistic-Plastic Wrapping.

The final effect is as follows.
