Hmmm....layering, opacities, and blendmodes, I'd guess. Usually when I use them for sigs I switch back and forth, doing one layer in white, then one in white.
When I use brushes, that's what I usually do. Most of the time, I'll set the black layers and all but a couple white layers to soft light, and then, for the remaining white brush layers, I use overlay.
Know what I'm saying? 😛

Sounds like something I had to do in a graphics course I took a while back... it looks skillfully done, I can't tell that it's not an original photo.
I took a graphic arts class in high school and the main focus of that class was Illustrator and doing vectors and learning how to design stuff like logos, labels, ads, etc. I remember one of the projects we had to do was to vector some images of fruit, create a label for a juice brand (made up, of course, but we had to use the fruit, and a name and slogan supplied by the teacher), and then print it out and put it on an empty soda bottle. I think I still have mine. It was a cool class. Especially as my friend and I already had a lot of graphics experience by then so we'd finish our assignments in a day (everyone else would take like a week), and then could mess around in PS the rest of class. Various teachers around school usually got us to do things like design t-shirt logos for school clubs and stuff like that 😂
Anyway, sig I made for another board....I did this in about 15 minutes so it's not that great but I like the color scheme.
