step 1 of 5

Creating smoke skull: I took this image http://www.flickr.com/photos/quinet/125138966/, cut the skull out, created new layer and draw smoke on it. Made the backgroun black so smoke is more visable.

step 5 of 5

Created layer mask and with black brush I've "fitted" the skull to the fire smoke.
It's my first SBS, not sure how to make it :) I also deleted my original smoke skull I've created first and had to made a quick SBS for admin's request. So they might look a little bit different. But the technique of creating was the same :) And of course took much more time to do it.
