Step 26

Next, let’s make the spoon sit down. To do that, we will need to activate the Liquify tool. The Liquify tool can be found by clicking on Filter > Liquify. Once the Liquify tab has been opened input the following settings:

Tool Options

  • Brush size: 259px
  • Brush density: 50
  • Brush Pressure: 100
  • Brush Rate: 80
  • Turbulent Jitter: 50
  • Reconstruct Mode: Revert
  • Stylus Pressure: Uncheck
  • The rest - default

Step 27

Next, let’s create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) above the spoon layer and then create a clipping mask above him. Name this new layer as “Darken spoon”. Once done, activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following:

  • Brush size: 400px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 15%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: 000000

Step 28

Next, let’s create the shadow of the spoon. Create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and then put it below the spoon layer. Name this layer as “spoon shadow”. Activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following:

  • Brush size: 45px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 15%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: 000000

Step 32

Now, let’s activate the Liquify tool (Filter > Liquify) and then input the same settings as from the spoon.

Tool Options

  • Brush size: 259px
  • Brush density: 50
  • Brush Pressure: 100
  • Brush Rate: 80
  • Turbulent Jitter: 50

  • Brush size: 300px
  • Hardness: 0%

Step 34

Next, let’s create the fork’s shadow. First, let’s create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and put this new layer below the fork layer; name it as “fork’s shadow”.

Activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following:

  • Brush size: 45px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 15%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: 000000

  1. Thanks for the tutorial. I followed your guidelines closely, and although I had to substitute images for the floor and cutlery (the original images were no longer available), I was able to replicate your original fairly well. I am using the completed image for an assignment in a college class. Thanks so much

  2. Awesome work and tutorial, Michael! Congrats!
    Let me add a correction: at step 36 the gradient map regulation level must be added with the LUMINOSTY blend mode...you must have forgotten to write it down :)

  3. Been looking at your tutorials and portfolio ... thanks a lot for sharing. Beautiful stuff. I really appreciate it.

  4. Great tutorial; thank you!
    FYI: The "Download the PSD" link points to the 'Big Fish' PSD rather than the file for this tutorial.
