Step 3

Open Core lDraw X3 (Version 13) and create a new A4 graphic (from Paper Type/Size drop down menu in Property Bar select A4). Youll need to switch on the grid in

order to make your work easier. Go to Layout menu, select Page Setup and when Options dialog box appears, select Grid: check Frequency, leave Spacing unchecked,

set Horizontal and Vertical Frequency to 5.08, check Show Grid and Show Grid as Lines. When ready press OK button.

Step 4

In this step your task is only to draw two circles with Ellipse Tool. Hold down Ctrl while drawing in order to make perfect circles.


4/86

Step 5

Take Rectangle Tool and draw a long rectangular shape. Its four angles must intersect the ellipses.

Step 6

Now grab Pick Tool and select all objects you have drawn so far. Press Intersect Icon on the Property Bar and youll see how the first intersected area appears

selected (it is the right ellipse). Click with Pick Tool outside the objects to deselect everything, then click with the same tool on the right ellipse and press Delete key.

The superfluous parts of the ellipse will disappear and youll have only the intersected part of it in the rectangle.

Deselect all objects again.


5/86

Step 7

Take Pick Tool and this time holding down Shift, select only the left circle and the rectangle. Press Intersect Icon again. Deselect everything by clicking with Pick Tool

out of the objects. Use Pick Tool again to select only the left circle and press Delete.

Step 8

Now click on Fill Tool (the paint bucket icon) in order to appear the fly- out menu of fill tools. Select the second one from left to right- Fountain Fill Dialog (hot key-

F11). Our task here is to fill each of the three parts with a lovely golden gradient. On the screenshot given for this step, you see the final result. Next three steps will

give you detailed description of the whole color fill process.


6/86

Step 9

Select with Pick Tool the left part of our rectangular shape, from Fill Tool fly- out menu choose Fountain Fill Dialog or press F11 key. When Fountain Fill dialog box

appears, set Angle at 15 degrees and Edge Pad to 20%, leave Type to Linear. To change the colors of the gradient, firstly click on the left marker, go to the color

swatches to the right and choose Khaki (when you point at any color swatch its name appears). Then click on the right marker and select Chalk from the swatches.

Deselect the shape.

Step 10

Select the right shape with Pick Tool, go to Fountain Fill Dialog, set Angle at -15 degrees, Edge Pad to 20% and this time select Chalk color for the left swatch and

Khaki color for the right one.


7/86

Step 11

Select the rectangle with Pick Tool. Press F11 to open the Fountain Fill Dialog box. For the left swatch choose Olive Drab color, select Khaki for the right swatch and to

add a third color, double click between the two swatches to add a new one. Move it so that in Position box to appear 58%. Choose Chalk color for this swatch.

As you can see, all black outlines are missing in the screenshot given for this step. In the next step you will learn how to remove them.

Step 12

For the purpose of this tutorial you should get rid of the black outlines which spoil the smooth and dainty look of our golden rectangle.

Select the whole rectangle with Pick Tool, click on Outline Tool and from the fly-out menu choose No Fill.

Now our golden rectangle is ready and all the work in C orelDraw completed.

All you have to do it is to export the shape in .png type. Go to File, Export to call the Export dialog box. Click on the Save In drop down menu and find the folder with

your Timepiece .psd file. In File Name enter Rectangle and from Save As Type drop down menu choose PNG (Portable Network Graphics). Click on Export button. Now

you can close the CorelDraw .cdr file.

Step 14

Take Rounded Rectangle Tool from the Tools Bar, navigate to the Options Bar and set Radius to 360 pixels, choose Shape Layers Mode. Change Foreground Color to a

lovely light yellow # e3e371 and draw the rounded rectangle shape. You should have Shape 1 layer in Layers Palette. Leave it above the previously created Rectangle

group.


10/86

Step 15

While Shape 1 layer is highlighted, right click on it and select Rasterize Layer. Hold down Ctrl key and click on the layer thumbnail to load a selection. When the

rounded rectangle appears selected, go to Se lect menu, choose Modify, Contract. In Contract Selection box enter 80px and press OK. Press De lete in order to make a

chain segment shape. Keep its layer highlighted as well continue to process the shape in the next steps.


11/86

Step 16

As our purpose is to add a metal glow look to the chain segment, it is time for layer styles again. Right click on the chain segment layer, select Blending Options and

check Gradient Overlay.

In Gradient Overlay box leave Blend Mode to Normal and Opacity to 100% (default). Click on the Gradient Swatch to open Gradient Editor. Change the color of the

first slider to #5c5916, click also on the last slider and change its color to #725505. Add another three sliders in between and set the colors as following: #edea75;

#fdf8a4; #d2ca03 (see my screenshot to see the row of sliders and colors used). After you have finished with Gradient Editor, in Gradient Overlay box change the

Style to Radial, Angle to 52 degrees and Scale to 98%.

Dont close the Layer Style box as we are going to add more styles in the next step.


12/86

Step 17

The second layer style we have to apply to the chain segment is Bevel and Emboss. Change the settings like this:

Style: Inner Bevel

Technique: Smooth

13/86

Step 18

STEP_18

With the chain segment layer selected, go to Edit, Free Transform and scale down the shape. Duplicate the segment six more times and arrange them on the rectangle

layer as you see on the screenshot. Merge all seven layers, name the new one Hangers and leave it above Upper Rectangle layer in Rectangle group.

You see these elliptical hangers still look flat and unnatural on the rectangle shape. To improve their look, go to Layer, Layer Style, Bevel and Emboss, and change the

settings:

Style: Pillow Emboss

Click OK button to close Layer Style box.


17/86

Step 22

Duplicate Triangle Diamond layer and move it into Rectangle group- place it on top of all its layers. Create a new layer below Triangle Diamond then highlight both

Triangle Diamond layer and the new one, right click and select Merge Layers. With the new merged layer selected go to Edit, Free Transform and holding down Shift

make the triangle a bit shorter in height than the Rectangle layer. When ready, duplicate the resized triangle five times and arrange the shapes above the six hangers

on the left and right. Leave the middle hanger without triangular diamond.

Select all triangle layers, merge then and rename the new layer Triangle. Right click on it, select Blending Options, Bevel and Emboss:


Technique: Smooth

Color: #b9ae20

Opacity: 75%


Color: #000000

Opacity: 31%

Press OK to close Layer Style box.

Keep the original Triangle Diamond layer switched off and below Rectangle group. Well need it later.


18/86

Step 23

In this step well start to make a nice golden bolt for our vintage timepiece design.

Create a new layer named Bolt and place it above Rectangle group. Select Ellipse Tool in Fill Pixels Mode (set foreground color to white) and holding down Shift key

draw a circular shape.


19/86

Step 24

Right click on the white circle layer, select Blending Options and check Gradient Overlay. Leave the Blend Mode and Opacity as by default- Normal and 100%

respectively. Click on the gradient to open Gradient Editor Box and change the colors to #726a29 and #e8d763. Leave Reverse option unchecked, Style: Linear, set

Angle to 99 degrees and Scale to 71%.

Step 25

Let us create the bolts slot. Create a new layer named Slot, take Rectangular Marquee Tool and draw a thin rectangle, almost as high as the diameter of the

previously created bolt circle. Fill the rectangle with white and deselect. Right click on the Bolt layer, select Copy Layer Style, then go back to Slot layer, right click on


20/86

it and highlight Paste Layer Style. Now the Slot layer has the same Gradient Overlay applied. We have to adjust it a bit now, so right click on Slot layer, select Blending

Options and click on Gradient Overlay style. Only change the Angle to 0 degrees and Scale to 100%.

Keep the Layer Style box opened as we are going to add Bevel and Emboss in the next step.

Step 26

In Layer Style box check Bevel and Emboss and set as following:

Style: Inner Bevel

Technique: Smooth

Depth: 1000%

Direction: Down

Size: 5px

Soften: 0px

Angle: 120 degrees






Color: # a7962c

Opacity: 79%



Opacity: 6%

It is time to highlight both Bolt and Slot layers. Go to Layer, Group Layers and name the new group Bolt. Leave it above Rectangle group.


21/86

Step 27

Well continue to shape the bolt in this step. Duplicate the Slot layer and place the copied one below the original. Right click on it and make the Following changes in

Bevel and Emboss layer style:


Technique: Smooth

Depth: 100%

Direction: Down

Size: 7px

Soften: 0px

Angle: 120 degrees






Color: # a7962c

Opacity: 48%



Opacity: 29%

Looks better, isnt it? Pillow Emboss gives shadow and volume.


22/86

Step 28

Create a new layer called Ring above Bolt layer. Change foreground color to #6c5c04, select Custom Shape tool (in Fill Pixels mode) and from Shape drop down menu

on the Options Bar choose Circle Thin Frame. Holding down Shift, draw a circle frame as big as the bolt- it should perfectly fit the bolt border.

Step 29

Select Bolt layer and duplicate it. Place the duplicate Bolt Copy 1 below the original. Right click on the duplicated layer, select Blending options and click to change the

Gradient Overlay settings:

Blend Mode: Normal

Opacity: 100%

Gradient: #e6da62 to #443605

Reverse: unchecked

Style: Linear

Align with Layer: checked

Angle: 118 degrees

Scale: 69%

When finished with the layer style, create a new empty layer below Bolt Copy 1, highlight and merge both layers to apply the Gradient Overlay style. Rename the new

layer Bolt Copy 1 again, as when you merge two layers youll see that the new layer automatically takes the name of the bottom layer.


23/86

Step 30

Duplicate Bolt Copy 1 layer we created in the previous step and place the duplicate at the bottom of Bolt group. With the new layer selected, press twice Bottom and

Right Arrow key to move slightly the duplicated layer.

It is time for layer style again. From all Blending Options, choose Bevel and Emboss and use these settings:


Technique: Smooth

Depth: 100%

Direction: Down

Size: 9px

Soften: 2px

Angle: 120 degrees






Color: # ecf50e

Opacity: 75%

24/86

Step 31

Place the big golden bolt in the middle of the rectangle as you see it on the following screenshot.

Step 32

Change the foreground color to # ebe972, take a Hard Round Brush of 4px size and holding down Shift key, draw 6 lines, each one on a separate layer. These are


25/86

intended to be the golden chains on which we are going to hang some of the timepiece pendants. Name their layers from Line 1 to Line 6 respectively and place them

in a new group called Lines (between Bolt and Rectangle group).

Step 33

Select one of the Line layers, no matter which one as later we are going to paste the applied layer styles on the other layers in Lines group.

Right click on the layer, highlight Blending Options, check Bevel and Emboss and change the settings:

Opacity: 70%

Angle: 140 degrees

Distance: 250px

Size: 70px

Contour: Rolling Slope- Descending


Invert: checked

Step 37

Copy the layer styles you applied on one of the Line named layers and paste them on the rest within the group. You should have six nicely textured chainlets.


28/86

Step 38

In this step well start to prepare the main shape for golden insects wings. This shape well be our base for making the glowing beetles and butterflies hanging from

the chains of our unique timepiece.

Create a new layer above the Background group. For your convenience, switch off all groups above this new layer and leave only the dark background group switched

on as it will increase the visibility when we make light colored shape.

In Tools palette set the Foreground color to #fbffaa and holding down Shift draw a perfect circle with Ellipse Tool in Fill Pixels mode.

Right click on the circle layer, select Bevel and Emboss and change its settings:


Technique: Smooth

Step 41

Create a new layer above the previous circle and draw a smaller size oval (holding down Shift) with Elliptical Marquee Tool. Fill the smaller circle with white color and

place it at the upper part of the golden circle to make the glow. Change Blend Mode of glow layer to Screen and reduce Opacity to 26%.


32/86

Step 42

Draw another white circle, this time bigger than the golden circle, on a new layer below. Nudge the ellipse in down right direction using Down and Right Arrow keys.

Keep its layer highlighted!

Press Ctrl and click on the golden circle layers thumbnail to load a selection, then press Delete key.

35/86

Step 45

We have plenty of layer styles added to the white ring shape. Create a new layer below it and merge both layers- the ring and the new empty layer to apply the styles

added so far. Right click on the merged layer, go to Blending Options and this time check Pattern Overlay:

Blend Mode: Normal

Opacity: 8%

Pattern: Strings

Scale: 462%



36/86

Step 46

We overlaid with pattern the ring shape. Let us add more relief to it. Create a new layer above the ring, take Line Tool in Fill Pixels Mode and 2px Weight then start

drawing random lines intersecting the ring shape. Note that all lines, in spite of their direction, should not be shorter than the distance between the ring borders. When

satisfied with the result, keep the lines layer highlighted, Ctrl+left click on the ring layer to load selection on it, go to Select, Inverse and press Delete key. Thus youll

erase the parts of the lines which exceed the ring borders.

Right click on the lines layer, highlight Blending options and tick Bevel and Emboss:

Color: # 60540c

Opacity: 59%


37/86

Step 47

Select all layers (those created in steps 38- 46) which will be used to shape wings and other insects parts and place them into one group. Name it Wing for your

convenience. From now on we are going to duplicate this group or some of its layers many times when necessary to modify their shape.

So duplicate Wing group now, merge the copied one and rename the new layer Abdomen. Our purpose here is to create the first golden insect- a beetle resembling

Scarab.

Increase the size of the shape using Free Transform Tool, go to Image, Adjustments, Brightness and Contrast and change Brightness option to -70 and Contrast to

100.

No bother if your shape looks asymmetric. We need it as a base and only a small portion of its bottom part will be visible.


38/86

Step 48

Go back to Wing group, select the inside circle layer and its glow, duplicate and merge them. Move the new layer out of the group and place it above Abdomen layer.

Erase the left bottom part of the circle where the Pillow Emboss Effect is visible and warp the shape as you see it on the screenshot (Edit, Transform, Warp).

Right click on the Thorax layer, highlight Blending options and check Bevel and Emboss:

Style: Inner Bevel

Technique: Smooth

Depth: 100%

Direction: Up

Size: 193px

Soften: 0px

Angle: 120 degrees






Color: # cfb85a

Opacity: 7%


Color: # 000000

Opacity: 7%

Step 49

Right click on Thorax layer, select Blending Options, Texture:

Pattern: Leaf

Scale: 85%

Depth: -46%

Invert: unchecked



39/86

Step 50

While the Thorax layer is still selected, duplicate it and change the Blend Mode of the duplicated layer to Multiply. Decrease its Opacity to 70-73%.

It is time to organize these first beetle parts layers into a group. Select Abdomen, Thorax and Thorax copy layer, go to Layer, Group Layers and call the new group

Golden Beetle. Leave it for now above our reserve Wing group- the source of all golden insects.

Step 51

Duplicate again the original Thorax layer and place this second duplicate on top of Golden Beetle group. Create a new layer below and merge it with the duplicated one

to apply the previously created layer styles as we are going to add another one. Call the layer Thorax G low, go to Edit, Free Transform and holding down Shift key

slightly move one of the nodes to the middle of the image to make it smaller.

Right click on Thorax Glow layer, select Blending Options, Bevel Emboss:

Style: Emboss

Technique: Smooth

Color: # 000000

Opacity: 16%

Step 52

To make the beetles armour more attractive, place a bigger rectangle diamond in the middle of its thorax then add three smaller rectangles on the three curved

sides of the insects thorax.

Merge all triangle layers, call the new layer Relief, right click on it and choose Blending Options, Bevel and Emboss:

Color: # aaa91bOpacity: 55%


Color: # 000000

Opacity: 24%


41/86

Step 53

In this step duplicate the original Thorax layer again, delete its layer effects (Move the small fx symbol on the right part of the layer to the litter bin icon at the bottom

of Layers palette), also make the shape smaller using Edit, Free Transform.

Place the layer at the bottom of Golden Beetle group and call it Head.

Step 54

This step is optional. If you prefer to make the head a bit darker, you can duplicate the Head layer then change to Multiply the Blend mode of the duplicated layer and

reduce its Opacity to 76%. The other way to achieve the same effect avoiding duplicating the layer is simply to increase Contrast and Reduce Brightness of the original

Head layer.


42/86

Step 55

Let us now create antennae for the beetles head. Duplicate the Head layer again, rotate it 90 degrees clockwise (Edit, Free Transform, enter 90 degrees for angle of

rotation in the Options bar then squish the shape by pressing the upper middle node). To shape the antenna, go back to Edit option in the Menu Bar, but this time

choose Transform, Warp and select Arc from the Warp drop down menu. Leave Bend as by default- 50% and press Enter twice to apply the transformation. When the

shape is ready, go to Image, Adjustments, Brightness and Contrast, set Contrast to 100 and Brightness to 115.

Use Free Transform option again to make the antenna smaller, duplicate its layer, transform the duplicate horizontally (Edit, Transform, Flip Horizontal) and fit both

antennae to the head. When ready, merge their layers and call the new layer Antennae. Place below Head layer.

Step 56

Its time to add three pairs of legs. Duplicate the Head layer again, make it longer and thinner by means of Free Transform, then apply Warp transformation to curve it

as it is shown on the screenshot.

Erase a small triangle from the upper part of the shape, duplicate it five times (as the insects have 6 legs) and arrange them to provide the beetle with golden legs. In

order to change the look of the second pair of legs, select and duplicate any leg you choose then resize it using Edit, Free Transform. When ready with the smaller leg

shape duplicate it three times and add two shapes to each of the third and fourth leg. This will make them look nodulous.

To avoid overloading your .psd file with too many layers, select and merge all legs layers into one layer called Legs. Its place is below Abdomen layer in Golden Beetle


43/86

group.

Step 57

We continue to shape the beetles body. Duplicate Abdomen layer, resize it with Free Transform then use Warp transformation to give it triangular shape with concave

base. Place the shape above Abdomen layer, duplicate and flip it horizontally (Edit, Transform, Flip Horizontal) and place both triangular shapes in the same manner as

you see it on the screenshot. Merge their layers into one and call it Wing Bonds.

Step 58

Duplicate Wing group (the same group we created in Step 41 and merge it. Go to Edit, Transform, Warp and shape the insects wing. When ready, duplicate and flip

the wing horizontally. If you are satisfied how the wings fit to beetle body, merge their layers in one, named Wings and place above Wing Bonds layer.

Select one of the Wing Bonds we created in the previous step, resize and place between the wings. I called the layer Thorax Edge.


44/86

Step 59

You see that the middle part of Thorax edge layer resembles little golden heart. Select it and make it smaller by means of Edit, Free Transform.Duplicate the small Heart shape, go to Edit, Free Transform, firstly make the duplicate a bit smaller, also nudge it 10 times with Upper Arrow key and 5 times with Left

Arrow key and in Option Bar set Angle of Rotation to 5.5 degrees. Press twice to apply the transformation, then immediately hold down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT and press T

key as many times as many duplicates of the smaller heart you would like. Highlight and Merge all layers created in this step except the first small heart shape and call

the new layer Forelegs ends. Duplicate and flip it horizontally to add the same end to the other foreleg. Resize Foreleg Ends if you find them too big.

Take the first small heart shape and add it to one of the front legs to make the node connecting the foreleg end with the front leg. Duplicate the shape, flip horizontally

and place it on the opposite leg. Merge both layers and name them Foreleg Nodes- the place of their layer is beneath Foreleg Ends layer.

Add edges also to second and third pair of legs- for the purpose duplicate any of the legs and make it thinner with Free Transform. Duplicate three more times and

arrange those edges on a layer beneath the legs layers. Merge down those edges layers into one when ready.

Step 60

The golden beetle is almost ready. Let us beautify its wings. To implement this select one of the forelegs duplicate it five times and arrange all shapes in a line order.

Merge the layers and call the new layer Wing Line.

Use Edit, Free Transform to make the wing line thinner (see the screenshot) and darken it by gong to Image, Adjustments, Brightness and Contrast- change Brightness

to 105, contrast 25. Change the Blend Mode to Overlay.

Step 61

Duplicate twice the previously created Wing Line layer. Use Free Transform to make the three lines fit the wing. Highlight the three Wing Lines layers, duplicate them

and while the three duplicates are selected together, apply Edit, Transform, Flip Horizontal. Use Move Tool to fit the three duplicated Wing Lines to the other wing. Keep

the Blend Mode of all six Wing Line layers to Overlay.

Now select any of the Wing Line layers, right click on it and choose Blending Options, Bevel and Emboss:

Click OK button in Layer Style box when ready with the Beve l and Emboss settings. Right click on the layer and select Copy Layer style. Then select the other five

Wing Lines together, right click on them and choose Paste Layer Style.

The golden beetle is ready.

Step 62

Create a new group named Golden Fly. The placement is still not important, you can put the group above Golden Beatle.

Shape the fly in the same manner as on the following screenshot.

Go back to the Wing group and duplicate it twice. Merge the first duplicate and call it Abdomen Part. From the second duplicated group leave only the middle golden

circle and its glow and clean the other parts. Merge the group again and call it Head. Now move both Head and Abdomen Part layers into Golden Fly group.

From the Head layer make also Eyes and Thorax (each part should be on a separate layer). Use Free Transform and Warp to shape the insects body parts.

By means of the same transformations shape the Abdomen- create it from Abdomen Part layer, duplicated 7 times- each part bigger than the previous and the last

parts warped to give them triangular shape.

Step 63

Right click on Thorax layer in Golden Fly group, select Blending Options, Bevel and Emboss:

When ready, right click on Thorax layer, select Copy Layer Style, then highlight Head layer, right click on it and select Paste layer style.

Step 64

Let us add legs to the Golden Fly. Well go back again to the Wing group. Duplicate it and merge the copied one. Select only the striped border of the circle, duplicate,

flip it horizontal, fix both shapes to each other and merge the two layers (use Warp to better fit both shapes one another). After you are ready with the base shape for

legs, use it to make the three pairs of insects legs.

I created the forelegs from two segments and the other two pairs of legs- from three segments.

To add more relief to the flys body, from the same part we used to create legs, make three lines and place them on the thorax. Merge their layers, right click on the

new one named Thorax lines and select Bevel and Emboss:

Step 65

In this step we are going to create the Golden Fly wings. Go back again to Wing group, duplicate and merge it. Apply Edit Free Transform to make the shape longer

and thinner, then go to Edit, Transform, Warp to form the wing. Duplicate the wing, flip it horizontally and place on the other side of the insects body. When satisfied

with the way the wings fit to the body, merge their two layers and call the new one Wings, lower its Opacity to 55%. The Wings layer should be placed above Thorax

Lines layer in Golden Fly group.

Step 66

This is a very short and simple step. Only duplicate the Wings layer. Keep its Opacity to 55%, only change the Blend Mode to Overlay.

The Golden Fly is ready.

Our task in the next steps will be to create one more insect- a lovely golden butterfly.


49/86

Step 67

In this Step we are going to prepare a golden heart shape to be used as an ornament for the butterfly wings and also for the clock frame later.

Create a new group of layers called Heart Shape and place it above Golden Fly group. C reate a new layer in Heart Shape group, call it Heart Base, take Pen Tool in

Shape Layers mode and draw a heart with white color. If you are not keen on using Pen Tool, choose Custom Shape Tool and take Heart Card shape from C ustom

Shape Picker. Dont forget to rasterize the shape layer.

When the heart is ready, right click on its layer, select Blending Options, Gradient Overlay:

using soft brush tool of 50% Opacity fill only the upper part of the selection with #fcf9d3. Name the layer Heart Glow, change its Opacity 37% and Blend Mode to

Overlay.


54/86

Step 75

Duplicate Heart 2 layer twice and move the two duplicates on top of Heart Shape group. Erase the bottom half of the first duplicate using Soft Eraser, change Blend

Mode to Color Dodge and reduce Opacity to 8%. Call the layer Heart Glow.

Step 76

Highlight the second duplicate of Heart 2 layer which should be above all layers in Heart Shape group. Select the bottom half of the shape with Pen Tool in Paths mode,

draw the path, right click, choose Make Selection and press Delete. Set the Blend Mode to Screen and Opacity to 40%.

Now the golden heart pendant is ready. Well need the shape to decorate additionally the timepiece.

Step 77

Create a new group named Golden Butterfly and place it above Heart Shape group. Duplicate again Wing group, merge the duplicated one, name its layer Butterfly

Wing and move it into the newly created Golden Butterfly group.

On the following screenshot you see all actions done to create the butterfly. Firstly shape its four wings from the Butterfly Wing layer then use a part of the striped

border of the elliptical shape to make the body. All you need to do this is to go to Edit, Free Transform; Edit, Transform, Warp, and of course, Flip Vertical and Rotate

Transformations to make the body.


55/86

Step 78

From the merged Wing group create also the circles on the butterflys wings. Merge their four layers into one called Wings Circles and placed above the Butterfly Wings

layers. Right click on it, select Blending options and choose the following two layer styles:

58/86

Create a new group of layers called Spike and place it for now above Golden Butterfly group. In this step we are going to make the pointed shape which will give the

really alternative look to our timepiece.

In Spike group create a new layer called Base. Above it create another layer and name it Ellipse and on top of all layers in the group create a new one named C one.

Take Pen Tool in Shape Layers Mode, firstly select Base layer and draw the same shape you see on my screenshot. I used light yellow color # fff299. Rasterize the

layer when ready.

Go to Ellipse layer, take Ellipse Tool in Fill Pixels mode and draw a flattened ellipse with the same color # fff299. Try to draw the ellipse as wide as the Base shape

below it or use Free Transform to achieve the result.

Select Cone layer and with the help of Pen Tool in Fill Pixels mode and the same yellow color draw a cone with arc lower shaped bottom side. The cone base should be

narrower than the ellipse.

Use Move Tool to fit the parts of the spike.

Step 123

Duplicate the Spike group and merge the duplicated one. Call it Circle Spikes and place above the big circle. Firstly duplicate Circle Spikes layer three times and

arrange all four layers to make a wreath around the circle. Merge the layers when ready. Duplicate the new one and apply Edit, Free Transform to reduce the size.Rotate the layer so that each of its spikes is between two bigger spikes of the previous layer.

Repeat this action two more times, each time resizing more the spikes. You should achieve a result as on the screenshot.

Step 124

Create a new group named Timepiece Chain, placed between Timepiece and Rectangle group. Merge all insects groups, resize the beetle, fly and butterfly with the

help of Free Transform and duplicate twice each of them. Arrange the insects so that six of them to fit to the chains and also place bigger beetle, fly and butterflyvertically above the Timepiece.

Step 125

In order not to leave the golden insects above the Timepiece hanging in the air, select one of the hangers created in step 18, duplicate it, rotate at 90 degrees and fit it

to the down side of the vertical hanger. Apply the layer styles to each of the two shapes then merge them. Move the layer to Timepiece Chain group, duplicate it five

times and arrange them between the timepiece and its chain parts like on the screenshot.

As a final touch add triangle diamonds as connections between five of the chain segments. I used two resized triangles with contiguous base sides (to make rhomb).
