This tutorial's difficulty rating is: Moderate (mostly due to length and refined decision making needed).

This Adobe Photoshop CC tutorial shows the process I used to insert stock 3D dragons into one of the photographs from my Daenerys photoshoot. Integrating them with proper shadows, highlights, grain and blur proved quite a challenge. This will be a great starting tutorial to teach you how to make added elements look like they're part of the image.
