Sections of the playing board have been lassoed and brought into scene. Blocks will be used like stepping stone blocks.
step 7 of 9
Mosaic filter is added after blocks are in place. Later, a more brownish color will be used on the stones to blend better with the colors used in the rest of the image. Reflections under the stones are made by duplicating the stones, reducing opacity, and moving the duplication down slightly.
step 8 of 9
Lilies and pads are now chopped and brought into scene. After chopping, they are duplicated, rotated, flipped and scaled to various sizes needed. They are placed in triangular shape to balance out the scene with the larger ones in the foreground.
step 9 of 9
Duck is now chopped and reflection made as before, and duplicated ducks are scaled and flipped when needed. One is placed at back of scene in shadows and darkened. After ducks are in, entire scene is scanned for highlights and shadows, and dodge and burn tools are used where needed.
