Girls in Dress... Painted-ish

This part was totally unplanned...



After finishing what came out to be the previous post (2 girls in dress), I exported the file into Photoshop. Then, I selected one color of the image at a time and painted it using one of the brushes. I also used the burn + dodge tool to enhance the colors. And it came out like what you see there. It's pretty cool, I think. I always wondered how to create that flat-textured-painted look, and I ended up actually achieving it here. Well, kinda.

EDIT: Here's the close-up view of the ladies.



Hope you like it. I had fun making this.


xoxo.

Alden, thanks for stopping by my blog, I appreciate the kind words. I'm a pen and ink junkie, give me a brush and a bottle of ink and I'm good to go. Nice blog you have, I love fashion illustration, not enough going around anymore, keep up the good fight! The Filipiniana sketch you did is great, real nice. I'll be back around to see what's going on.
