Step 12
Make a new layer under model one. Use soft black brush with opacity about 30% to create shadow for model clothes, legs on the ground:
Step 13
To give the model more “dirty” look, choose wood texture, use Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) to make a selection :
Place this part on the model and use Warp Tool (Edit-Transform-Warp) to bend this part a little:
Change the mode of this layer to Soft Light 100%:
Step 14
From brush menu, choose Reset Brushes to change brush preset to default. Now on brush menu, click to choose one of Spatter brushes (mine is Spatter 24):
Press F5 to change settings for this brush:
Add layer mask to this wood texture layer. Use indicated brush to remove hard edges and create a subtle effect on the model:
Step 15
I darkened the effect with a Curves layer:
On its layer mask, reduce the dark with soft brush with very low opacity (10-15%) on model feet:
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:
Use layer mask to get the look below:
Step 18
Drag the soil again into our pic:
Add layer mask to this one. Use black brush with hardness about 70-75% to paint inside this part to create a form of a cave.
Step 19
I wanted to fix something of the cave so active Clone Tool (S) and make a new layer:
Use this tool to remove these details:
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:
On Curves layer mask use brush with very low opacity (10-15%) to reduce the dark on some parts a little:
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:
Remember to place this layer under cave group.

Thanks for that…

Unfortunately, the resources are no longer available. There’s a double edge to free stock photos; they’re free, but they tend to disappear. It is still possible to follow the tutorial using alternative photos. You can download the PSD and find the stock photos there as well.

Most of the resources won’t download, any tips or can anyone send me a zip file with then in.
TIA
