step 1 of 11

When I opened Photoshop, I imagined myself sitting in front of a canvas with paint and basic brushes handy. The only concession I made to using PS is the eraser and layers.

step 2 of 11

These are my own photos that I used for reference.

step 3 of 11

I started with a sketch

step 4 of 11

I used the eyedropper to pick a color form the color swatches and then moved the little circle until I found a color I wanted. I figured this would be equivalent to adding white or black paint to a basic color.

step 5 of 11

After doing a green and then a red tomato just to see if I could do this, I started saving to show the evolution of the tomatoes.

step 6 of 11

I originally wanted to do the bottle all on one layer, as with the tomatoes, but after a couple of hours of frustration, I gave up and put the bottle on layers.

step 7 of 11

The various forms that the label took until I finally did one I was satisfied with.

step 8 of 11

step 9 of 11

As I was looking at what I had done, I decided the small green tomato was too high, so I lowered it and finished the label.

step 10 of 11

All of the stem leaves were done in the same manner.

step 11 of 11

The final thing was the shadow.
