Group the two cracks layer together (Shift-click on each and press Ctrl + G) and add a layer mask to the group (Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All). Now paint with a black brush in the layer mask to hide the unwanted cracks – you should have something like the image below after you’re done.

With the same chalk brush paint with black some subtle details on a new layer over the crumbs.

Step 24

Group all the layers related to the ground together and name the layer “Ground”. Add a layer mask to the group (Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All) and use the standard chalk brush to nip here and there (paint with black in the layer mask) in order to break the boring straight lines of the ground.

Step 25

Create a new layer and choose the standard round soft brush. Increase the size to 200px and lower the opacity to 50%. Move this layer below the “Ground” layer in the layer palette and paint some shadow as shown below.

Click on the underwater layer in the layer palette and press Ctrl + G to add it to a group. Add a layer mask to the group (Layer > Layer Mask > Hide All) and use the Pen Tool to create a path as indicated in the layer below. Press Ctrl + Enter to convert the path into a selection.

Step 28

Press D to set the colors to default and while in the layer mask of the group press Alt + Backspace to fill the selection with white and thus reveal the underwater inside the selection. Press Ctrl + D to deselect.
