Cute Javanese Girl in Traditional Wedding Dress

 

Java is the largest tribe in Indonesia. Most of the people are in Central Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java, where each region also has its own characteristics and differences. In terms of clothing, the Javanese wedding dress was inspired by the clothing of the aristocracy and the kings of the palace. 

So that all of you are more familiar with Javanese wedding dress, in this post I will present a digital painting that I created using photoshop's watercolor effect technique. The original image of the Javanese girl mode can find here, and the brief methods to create the above image are as follows :

1. Using multi-layer + layer mask (background, girl model, wildflower)
2. For the background and model girl each using 2 layers, the blending mode used is normal mode (opacity 100%) + soft light (opacity 73%)
3. For the left wildflowers using 2 layers,  the blending mode used is linear burn (opacity 100%) + hard light (opacity 93%)
4. For the right wildflowers using 2 layers,  the blending mode used is multiply (opacity 100%) + overlay (opacity 100%)
5. To create a watercolor painting effect, each image uses the filter - noise - greyCstoration, after that use the filter - artistic - watercolor
6. Use the watercolor effect brush tools for layer masks
7. Then sharpen each image using the filter - sharpen - smart sharpen
8. To create a painting effect on canvas using filter - filter gallery - texture- texturizer (canvas)
9. Lighting effects using brightness and contrast (with contrast -28, and brightness 31)
10. Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -16)
11. Image size used 1380 px; 1380 px, resolution 300 ppi
