Warping Issues (Pigeons)

[jacqueline_9087]

Good day

I have been trying all ideas which has been uploaded on the form to edit these [removed].  This is just to assist my brother with his hobby.  I am struggling with the warping a lot.  I followed all the steps in the last post with the: Layer in white as background.  Use the blue mask. Warp your image.  This is what I am stuck with.  It does not look good.  I have been playing around with this for more than 2x days.  Is there like a course one can take?  Or more videos to assist with more details.  As I do feel there are more crucial steps in between the 5x pointer steps to assist with this that I am missing to get to the final result everyone else is getting. No one on the Pigeon community wants to help as they want to make money of this. I am uploading the picture I have and then the one I have been trying to create [removed].

Be sure to make the layer a SO first so the puppet warp can be edited or removed.

Show us the image when you are in Puppet Warp so we can see your pins. Also tell us what "does not look good" and what you are trying to achieve.

My picture named warping is attached. 

And the also the other picture of Sample is what we wish to achieve. I have made the Layer an SO.

Thanks for assistance.

What does not look good personally to me,

Is I cannot get the feet right.  You can see my feet of the pigeon looks disabled.

Also the patterns of the pigoen looks al smugged due to be warping it into this shape of what they want the pigeon to stance in.

Thank you so much for all of this.  I will play around and try this.

Do you know of any platforms where one can take a entry level course on Photoshop.  As I am struggling with simple concepts of layering even.  I find myself to have to google / Youtube each and every thing they mention and even still I am not getting the same results.
