My story was Hansel and Gretel. I started by creating the forest scene when they are lost and have to leave a trail. I put a gummy trail and added shadows.
Next I added the children and shadows.
I then added adjustment layers and changed the coloring to be darker.
The final image had rocks spelling help out. I finalized the image by adding shadows and curves.
I used a template of a house to build the candy house. I used the sticks from the image on the left to build the lines. I put the house in a bright area because to the hungry children, the house looked like heaven.
Next, I added a nerds trail and put a girl skipping, but I ended up removing her.
The final image had lighting adjustments and a cloud base underneath the house.
I portrayed the scene after the witch captures and cooks the children. I added a caldron and a witch looking out in the distance.
The final image included the stew. In my version, the witch is somewhat regretful and hasn't touched her soup yet. I used a steam brush to add the effects. I used a curves and levels layer to add lighting.
