Learn how to create a "burnt text" effect using the eraser tool.

Step 1

Create a new document, around 640x480 with a white bg.

Select the text tool, I used the font "Hemi Head 4260", dafont.com has it.

I typed out an "R" at a big size and used the colour: #FF9600

Step 2

Open up the blending options of your text layer, and select bevel and emboss. Use the below settings:

Step 3

Now go into the stroke settings and use the below settings and then press OK!

Step 5

Now right click your layer and click "Rasterize" as shown below:

Step 6

Now select the eraser tool, select the mode brush and size 21.

Now slowly erase parts of your letter. Tip: more times you go over an area the faster it erases. My letter now looks like below:

Step 7

Here is my result, but with the text "Zymic". I hoped you enjoyed the tutorial :)
