Step 23

We will make the same light reflection on the opposite side of the yolk. Start with selection.

Fill it with gradient and delete the upper part.

As in the previous step, use smudge tool.

Then blur a bit and warp the layer.

Lower down the opacity to about 15-20% and you got this:

Step 24

Here comes the last part- reflection of the eggshell edges. Make a clipping layer to the yolk. Do [Ctrl.jpg"> + [Click.jpg"> on the thumbnail of the eggshell layer so you will get a selection. Then go to the Select > Transform selection. Use a warp to modify a selection – Edit > Transform >> Warp. Try to get something like this:

Then use a brush tool with very light color to get something like this:

Step 25

Again go to Select > Transform selection and Edit > Transform >> Warp. Make something like this below. What we want to get are a soft lines from our paintings that will simulate reflections.

Apply this and hit [Delete.jpg">. This is what should be left after deletion.

Blur it a bit, but really, just a little. Then change the blending mode to Color dodge with opacity 40-50%.

My aim was to teach you about selections and transformations. Hopefully it is easier now for you to make them cooperate. Don’t be scared to play by yourselves with Photoshop tools and settings. It is all made for you graphic designers.

Happy drawing. Thank you.
