Painting Shadows in Photoshop

"Now let's go ahead and work what we have with the apple stem. As we can see, the apple stem didn't cut so well. You can see that it's just a little bit jagged if I zoom in here. It's a bit jagged and there's not a whole lot I can do about it because this is a very, it just wasn't a very good picture to begin with. It wasn't meant to be zoomed in this fashion. So let's go ahead and zoom out just a little bit. We're just not going to worry about that right now. Not right this second. We'll probably replace this so Control-Deselect that or Command-D. And let's move this down just a little bit. There we go. Now what we're going to do is kind of fake in what we had earlier which is, we're going to come up here and hit our Marque tool and this like so. Let's see if we can rotate this Selection. Let's hit Edit. Let's go to Select. Let's see. Similar, Final Selection. Let's Transform our Selection, there we go. That's what we are looking for. We'll just go ahead and take our Selection here and let's rotate it around like so. There we go. Bring this down just a little bit on this side here. And this is where we're going to put our dark area because remember we had a dark area and a light area. So let's, let's, I'll tell you what. Let's go into our Brush tool. We'll hit B for our Brush tool. Oh, let's hit Enter first to Accept that. Now let's go into B for our Brush tool. Let's not choose black. Let's hold down Option to get our Color Picker Marque and let's choose one of the colors that are naturally appearing here. That looks pretty good. We'll start with that color and what we're going to do is take our brush down just a little bit. And our Opacity is at 25 so we're just kind of come in here and paint. And why is our brush acting this way? It's acting very, Oh. It's because it's on the wrong layer. There we go. Let's Control us back out of that real quick, there we go. So, there we go Miss Portman. There we go. Now as you can see she's going to paint in just a little bit easier than what the other one did. So what we're going to do is we're going to do this and then we're going to hit D, get a little black in there. Let's take our Brush down a little bit. There we go. This is looking a bit much so we're going to stop here and we'll fix this up in the next one."
