A non-photorealistic Photo

I wanted to maximize creativity while minimizing set up. I recently learned about the Clone Stamp Tool in Photoshop and wanted to have a little fun. I had my friend stand in the direct sunlight so that I could capture her entire shadow. I wanted to keep her shoes in the maximize the effect of her "disappearing". In Photoshop, I used the Clone Stamp Tool to put bricks where her legs should be. The Clone Stamp Tool essentially lets me select any area on the picture to clone and "draw" with elsewhere. This process took a while since I had to be extremely detailed in terms of where lines met and where each brick began and ended. I also had to ensure that there were no wavy bricks and that the subject's legs were completely erased.
