I have many elements like a phone, a pencil, a clock etc. in their own individual layers. Then I have a layer that has elements like eyes, mouth, hands and legs.

Now, I always want the eyes and the mouth to stay on top of the elements while the arms and legs in the bottom. Can I do that without taking the human elements out of a single layer

This is how my layers are stacked up currently :-


layer human elements

layer phone

layer pencil


In this scenario my image looks like this :-


notice the arms are on top of the edge of the phone

Two things you can do.

Option 1: make the arms a separate layer and place it behind the phone later.

Option 2: make the arms stop at the phone, and not overlap it. You could draw that with the pen tool quickly.
