Pencil pic 1

Step 1:

Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 400x300 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a white colour. Now select the Line Tool, above your screen under the options palette choose Fill Pixels, set the weight to 10 px with anti-aliased checked. In a new layer draw a slanted line with #FBC219 color shade 82×137 px dimensions.

Step 2:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay blending option to your line layer. If your results doesn't look like the design below, play with the scale and angle settings.
