Make sure that after downloading the brush file, put it in the following directory: Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS2/3/4/5 > Presets > Brushes.

Step 15: Create the Background

In this step, we will be adding the sky and the other clouds. To start, let’s open the stock image “Dark clouds – STOCK” by Supermalade-STOCK; once open, activate the Move tool (V) and drag this image to our canvas. Put this image below all the layers that we’ve made. The reason for that is for the sky would appear at the back of all the images that we would be putting.

Move and position it here:

Once the sky is on the canvas, rename it to “sky 1”.

Activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) next and then resize “sky 1” as shown below:

The result of that should be like this:

image049[5]

Step 16

Next, open the stock image “sky from plane III” by deadenddoll-stock. Once open activate the Move tool (V) and drag this image to our canvas. Put this image above the “sky 1” image but still below all the layers that have been created.

Rename this layer to “sky 2”.

Move and position it as shown on the image below:

image050[5]

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

image051[5]

Step 17

Transform it once again:

The result of that should be like this:

Step 18

Activate the Eraser tool (E) and input the following:

  • Brush size: 500px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 100%
  • Flow: 100%

Now, let’s erase that extra sky from “Sky 2”:

The result of that should be similar to this:

Step 19

Next, let’s brighten the horizon. To do that, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name it “Horizon”. Activate the Brush tool (B) and Reset the brushes.
