step 7 of 7

I found a nice bald parrot photo and I took his body and pasted it over the girl.

I shaped the birds body to match the lines of her neck and shaded it under the girls chin and down the side.

I used a brush for the eyelashes because I fail at drawing eyelashes. Don't hold that against me, my hand just shakes too much for eyelashes.

I adjusted hue/sat bright&contrast on the background, duplicate>overlay>lower opacity to about 35%

Nice guide, i didn't get why you had to clone her over, only to keep her eyes , but I know the process of creation is not linear
