The result of that should be similar to this:

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

The result:

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

Now, let’s paint!

The result:

Step 29: Create the sitting Fork

Like what we did in Step 6 for the spoon – activate the Polygonal Lasso Tool (L) and then create a selection area around the fork.

Step 30

Once done, activate the Move tool (V) and drag the fork to our canvas. Once on the canvas, make sure to put it above all the other layers. Position it as shown below:

Step 31

Next, activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and then resize the fork as shown below:

The result of that should be similar to this:

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
• Reconstruct Mode: Revert
• Stylus Pressure: Uncheck

Now, let’s Liquify!

The result of that should be similar to this:

Step 33

Now, let’s create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) above the fork layer. Create a clipping mask for this layer and then name it “Darken fork”. Activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following:

• Brush size: 300px
• Hardness: 0%
• Opacity: 15%
• Flow: 100%
• #: 000000

The result:

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

The result of that should be similar to this:
