There are 8 steps of process to create a surrealism picture.
Step 1
Start by creating a new image file, go to the Menu bar and click File >New, and then input the following values on their respective fields.
Preset: Custom
Width: 2480 pixels
Height: 3508 pixels
Resolution: 300pixels/inch
Color Mode: RGB Color
Background Contents: Transparent
Step 2
In this step, we will be creating the sky of our image. To start, open “big blue sky stock” by fahrmboy stock. Next activate the Rectangular Marquee Tool by pressing M on the keyboard.
Step 3
Now, we will proceed to making the wooden floor to where the woman’s head is floating on. To start, open the stock image: “Old wood texture” by kovik. Once open, activate the Move tool (V) and drag it to our canvas. Put this layer above the “sky” layer and rename it to “floor”.To rename a layer, simply double-click on the words: “layer 1” (you can find that on the layer window) to prompt a text box to appear.
Step 4
Now, we would want this floor to appear flat and not like a wall, to do that, we would need the help of the Transform tool. Activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and right click on the canvas to bring out the contextual menu. Once it is up, click on Perspective.
Step 5 Now, let’s create a selection area around the head of this woman.Next, to make the “insides” look even more realistic, we would need to fix the lighting on it. Create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and then name it “darken Clone Stamped Area”, once done, right click on this newly created layer and choose “Create Clipping Mask” from the contextual menu. Make sure to put this layer above the “Clone Stamped Area” layer.
