first step:
Open the apple material and make a butterfly apple this time~
Step two:
To cut out the butterfly texture in the butterfly material, I used the color levels adjustment and then selected the color style. Hurry up like this.
Adjust the size, place it on the cross section of the apple, and deform it so that the butterfly texture better matches the shape of the apple. The layer blending mode is Overlay.
Step three:
Use the Elliptical Selection Tool to select the apple on the background layer, Ctrl+J, and copy the selection layer.
Move to the position of the apple core and freely transform to a suitable position
Step 4:
Using the Pen Tool, draw the shape below. Convert to selection deletion and feather 3 pixels.
Step 5:
Duplicate the apple branch, flip it over and place it in a suitable position to make the tentacles of the butterfly.
Step 6:
Select the apple core and copy a few more layers of the apple core.
Change some angles. Wipe away the flesh around the core of the apple to expose the rest of the core.
Adjust the appropriate number of apple cores. If you are willing, you can arrange the patterns~
Step 7:
Extract the butterfly from the butterfly material, place it on the apple leaf, and create the shadow of the butterfly~
