ADD EGG PATTERN

Create the new layer. Use Pen Tool and draw kind of broken shell/ zigzag shape.

Right click on the path and select Make Selection…

Press Shift+Delete (in Mac OS) to fill the path (used colour in the tutorial: #fefae0). Use the Pen Tool again and draw a similar path on the top of the egg. Fill the path.

Hide the background and the egg layer by unticking the eyeballs in the layer panel. Right-click on the Rectangle layer and select Merge Visible.

Make an egg layer visible (click on the eyeball).

Create Clipping Mask: Hold down Alt (Option in Mac OS), position the pointer over the line dividing two layers(rectangle layer and the egg layer) in the Layers panel (the pointer changes to two overlapping circles), and then click.

Merge the visible layers:

How to make an animated GIF in Photoshop? You won’t believe how simple it is! It takes just a few minutes! To learn how to use your images to create an animated GIF watch the video tutorial below, or follow the steps from this post.

You can watch the tutorial video here. I hope you’ll find it helpful!
Note: This tutorial has been made in Photoshop CS6.

Here is how you can make your own animated GIF step by step. Let’s get it started!

Note: Before you’ll start making an animated GIF you have to get your images imported and ready to animate. So, if you have a series of images ready to go we can go to step 1.

Step 1: Load images to Photoshop.

Load your images into stacks. From the top menu. Go to File->Scripts->Load Files Into Stack. This option allows you to load an entire range of your images, rather than needing to drag each one to your document individually.
