Step 2.
Next, choose the pen tool, create a new path layer and then make 2 points, to create a curve.
Step 3.
Create a 3rd point to make a 2nd curve, like in the image below.
Step 4.
Next, we're going to convert the path into a curved line. Set the brush size to 7, the foreground color to dark grey (433A39) and then create a new layer. Right click on the path, in the path panel, and select "stroke path". This will create a dark grey stroke with a radius of 7.
Step 5.
Next, make a selection using the curve, feather (select > feather) it by 1 pixel, contract (select > modify > contract) it by 2 pixels and then fill the selection with a light grey (DADADA)
