Draw "Witch Hat"

For today I will show you how I draw a Witch Hat and convert it to the Photoshop. 

Open the Adobe Illustrator .

Rename the file as Hat
Use A4 size ( landscape)
Then click OK

Select the the Pen tool ( shortcut - P)

Draw a shape of hat on the A4 paper.

Select Gradient (shortcut --G) which is on your right side.

I adjust the gradient to blue color.

Go to File >>> Save for Web & Devices ( shortcut -- Alt + Shift + Ctrl + S)

Save as PNG-24.

Open Adobe Photoshop and go to File >>> open.

Drag it to the background file.

Right click on the hat layer and select duplicate layer.

Select the hat layer and go to Layer >>> Layer Style >>> Outer Glow

Adjust the size and the range .

Select another layer -- hat copy layer.
Go to Layer >>> Layer Style >>> Outer Glow

Reduce the size and the range because I want a neon effect on the outer line of the hat.
