Final Image:

Creating Mountains:

Step-1

Take a new file with 3000×2000 file size. (We take this large only to play more comfortably and we crop it off later.)

Now, Draw a circle selection and fill it with following radial gradient.

Step-2

Slice it half

Step-3

Go to Filter>>Liquify

Select “Wrap Tool” with brush pressure 50% and shape the semi circle like this.

Step-4

Try to get result like this….

Step-5

Duplicate the mountain and change the color of it using hue and saturation.

Place it below the green mountain to get edge of the mountain effect like this….

Step-6

Similarly create multiple mountains and position them like this….

Creating Trees:

Step-7

Create a gradient trunk.

Step-8

Go to Filter>>Liquify

Use Wrap Tool with 50% brush pressure to get result like this….

Step-9

Select brush with following brush style and properties.

Step-10

Draw foliage.

Resize it.

Step-11

Duplicate the tree turn into black(decrease brightness using curves (Ctrl+M)) and use as shadow like this…..

The angle of the shadow is with respect to the sun which we are going to add later.

Step-12

Similarly draw trees, foliage and shadows and place them like this……

Creating Water:

Step-13

For this we are simply using blue radial gradient.

In the above image, I applied radial gradient to a rectangular selection and using transform option(Ctrl+T) added little perspective.

Step-14

Similarly add linear gradient bar with following color.

Creating Sun:

Step-15

Select following radial gradient and draw circle.

Step-16

Duplicate the sun and go to Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian Blur

Set the blending mode to “Screen” to get result like this….

Adding Lens flare:

Step-17

Create top most layer, fill it with black color.

Go to Filter>>Render>>Lens flare

Set blending mode to “Screen” and opacity to 45%

Step-18

Finally add shadows to the mountains to get the final image.

I hope you find this tutorial useful.
