Step 16
After darkening, the model hair became very solid and unnatural. To correct it, I made a new layer on the top, used brush with color #080707, 5 px to paint some soft parts and tiny hair strands:
Step 17
Open soil 2 stock. Take a part from it and position it above the model:
Step 18
Drag the soil again into our pic:
Step 19
I wanted to fix something of the cave so active Clone Tool (S) and make a new layer:
Step 20
Make all the cave layers and clone one selected then press Cmd/Ctrl+G to make group for them. Change the mode of this group from Pass Through (default group mode) to Normal 100%. I named the cave layers "part 1" and "part 2". Create a Hue/Saturation layer within this group:
Step 21
Use Curves to darken the cave:
Step 22
Open branches 1 stock. Use Lasso Tool (L) to choose one part from this image then drag it into our image. Use Warp Tool to tweak this part as shown below:
Step 23
Continue to add more branches to the cave using different parts of the stock, transform, warp it...if needed. I used 12 layers and here is my result:
Step 24
Make group for these branches as done with the cave. I named this group "branches 1" and I applied Hue/Saturation for them:
Step 25
Use Curves to brighten the branches:
Step 26
Open branches 2 stock. Take a part from the trunk and locate it on the top of the cave, set this layer above the cave group. I used Warp Tool to bend it a little:
Step 27
Add layer mask to blend this branch with the cave a bit:
Step 28
Duplicate this layer five times and arrange them around the cave. Double click the Puppet Warp filter of each layer to edit their curve. Here is my result:
Step 29
Group these layers and name it "branches 2". Use a Curves layer within this group to darken these branches:
Step 30
Add a Hue/Saturation layer for the branches 2:
Step 31
Open grass stock. I took grass part and put it above the cave after tweaking it a little with Warp Tool:
Step 32
Add layer mask to this one and use brush with hardness about 10-15% to remove hard edges and create a soft, smooth look for the hill:
Step 33
Make a new layer under the hill one. Use soft black brush with opacity about 70% to paint under the hill to make shadow for it on the cave:
