step 8 of 15

step 9 of 15

Cut a few of the lotus buds out and arrange them as shown.

step 10 of 15

Give the lotus buds we put in there a chocolate looking effect, also adding shading/highlights.

step 11 of 15

Make three rectangle shapes with the colors you see. Merge the three shapes into one layer. Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates. Now go to Filter > Distort > Twirl (high settings). Now give a heavy gaussian blur, and lower opacity a little.

step 12 of 15

Didn't like the stem. I wanted to redo it. So I painted over it and burned and dodged shadows/highlights.
