Digital painting is a medium for expressing the human spirit and mind in interpreting beauty. Various kinds of living things and inanimate objects can be used as objects in digital painting. One of the objects favored by digital painting actors (including me) is the figure of a woman.
In this post, I will show you a digital painting that I have made with the object of a girl with a charming face. For this image, I tried to explore the beauty of full color in a watercolor stroke technique using Photoshop. The steps and methods I used in making the painting are as follows:
- The image size I'm using is 1519 px X 1000 px, with an image resolution of 300 ppi
- Create the background with a colorful watercolor effect using watercolor brush tools according to your imagination
- The painting is a combination of 2 different images, i.e. the model and wildflowers. The original image of the model can be found here, and the original image of wildflowers can be found here
- Duplicate the background image that has been made, change the blend mode to soft light (opacity 71%);
- Place the image of the model on top of the background layer, use the layer mask technique to display the model's image without a background
- Place the image of the wildflowers on the left side, then duplicate it and move to the right side
- For each image (background, the model, and wildflowers use the filter - noise - greyCstoration, after that use the filter - artistic - watercolor
- Duplicate the model image that has been made, change the blend mode to soft light (opacity 73%);
- Use the watercolor effect brush tools for layer masks on the model.
- For the left wildflowers uses the blend mode to screen (opacity 100%), and hard light (93%)
- For the right wildflowers uses the blend mode to screen (opacity 100%), and overlay (100%)
- To create a painting effect on canvas using filter - filter gallery - texture- texturizer (canvas)
- Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -25)
- Lighting effects using brightness and contrast (with contrast -12, and brightness 34)
The stages mentioned above are not absolute, because they can be adjusted to the desires and creativity of each of you... enjoy
