12 Days of Photoshop: Day 1 - Sliced Elephant

jThe first project in the 12 days of photoshop was to slice something or someone in half! I used a round select tool to cut and past half of the elephant into a new layer. I used the same select tool to take a portion of nuts from a picture. I placed it where I thought the stomach would go. I added a shadow to give depth to the stomach and i drew in a shadow of the whole elephant so that it would look like it is standing. I colored it a grey that is similar to a shadow
