Chocolate Skull

Chocolate skull tutorial here. The point of this tutorial was to take a realistic skull and make it look like melting chocolate. It was pretty simple (only a few tools were used) but the detail was very important. I started by making the skull black and white and duplicating the layer and making it a chocolate brown color. Then I used the smudge tool to make 'drips' coming from the skull. This was pretty easy but I don't see how the person who made the tutorial made the little ball at the end of the drip to make it look really. Then I added some white for highlights and smudged those out too. Next, I found a cake background and dragged the skull over it. I used the clone stamp and smudge tool to make things blend together. The red background was not high enough, so I found a red fabric texture and added and used the clone stamp and smudge tool again to make it blend.
