how to make a sick looking farmer skeleton in photoshop!!

so for my propaganda poster it seemed pretty basic but you have no idea how much work it got into making a farmer skeleton.

 1. find an awesome skeleton!

On photo shop make sure the background layer isn't in eye mode. Then take your fun little magic wand tool and delete all the original white background in the photo!!! should be pretty easy. 

 2. i search far and wide for a farmer hat that looked right, i looked for texture, coloring, if i wanted to make it simple with clip art or find a real one. i ended up finding this farmer... i don't know his name so we will call him FARMER FRAN! THANKS FARMER FRAN FOR LETTING ME ERASE YOU IN PHOTO SHOP AND STEAL YOUR HAT! MANY THANKS!!!

3. I  needed to find a way to make the skeleton look like he is wearing the hat, so i decided to split the hat in two. the top part to be placed upon the skeletons head and the second was to be placed behind the skeleton. 

a. top layer (layer1)

b. bottom layer (layer 3)

AWESOME! NOW WE GOT THE BASIS OF OUR SKELETON IN PHOTOSHOP BOOM POW! 

now you just need to save as a png(i like to do this because when you save it saves with no background and when you place it in Illustrator you don't really have to mess with the extra deleting of white space.)
