Cute Samurai Girl

Samurai were Japanese medieval and early-modern military aristocrats. The term samurai was used of elite warriors from among the nobility. Samurai use several types of weapons, but the katana (often referred to as the samurai sword) is a weapon that is identical to its existence.

In this article, I want to show a digital painting of a samurai girl with a watercolor technique using photoshop. The summary methods to create the above image are as follows :

1. Using multi-layer + layer mask (background, girl model, wildflower)
2. For the background using 2 layers, the blending mode used is normal mode (opacity 100%) + soft light (opacity 66%)
3. For the cute samurai girl model using 2 layers, the blending mode used is normal mode (opacity 100%) + soft light (opacity 79%)
4. For the wildflowers each using 2 layers,  the blending mode used is normal (opacity 100%) + color burn (opacity 86%)
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 -11, and brightness 24)
10. Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -14)
11. Image size used 1380 px; 1380 px, resolution 300 ppi

Finally, I hope this samurai girl digital painting can inspire you to keep your creative work
