Original image

step 1 of 9

Draw a rough sketch of a toy bear. This is just to use as a guide for positioning the fur and fabric. It is deleted in the end.

( hi-res )

step 2 of 9

Made a piece of seamless fabric from the blue hat. Used this for the fabric parts of the bear.

( hi-res )

step 3 of 9

Cut out parts of the fur which were in the best focus to use for the bear body.

step 4 of 9

Placed fabric sections. Cut out eyes from girl to use as eyes on bear. The foot pads were done with the fabric on multiply mode. The nose was rounded using spherize and painting on highlights and shadows on soft light mode.

( hi-res )

step 5 of 9

Painted some dark edges and shadows on the shirt to give it some extra shape.

( hi-res )

step 6 of 9

Pieces of the fur were cut transformed, resized, warped and manipulated in various ways to fit the body.

( hi-res )

step 7 of 9

Longer hair added to face and ears to make him look more scruffy and make the face hair match the rest of the body.

( hi-res )

step 8 of 9

Made a background using render clouds filter. Selected the bottom section and used motion blur on the clouds to create the floor texture. Copied the floor section and overlayed it on multiply mode to darken it.

( hi-res )

step 9 of 9

Painted some stitching on the shirt and foot pads. Rendered some lighting effects. Added more shadows to various places. Then I played around with the hues, saturation and colors to get the final image.

OH MY GOOD GOD. All this toil and moil and the end result blows my mind. You have great control and knowledge of PS manipulation and your SBS is a learning experience. This is quite something and I hope you are proud and walking tall.
