My submission for the Artstyleart #10 challenge. This is a digital painting and I have included process steps below. As a reference for this challenge I used this beautiful photo by photographer Herman Damar of a young girl washing clothes in a river in Indonesia. I recommend looking at the whole series, they are beautiful, he captures such motion and life in his subjects!

First i did a very simple sketch:

Next I begin some basic colouring:

At this point I have most of the colours filled in except for the dress!

I started filling in the dress, I regret that I don't have the patience or skill to replicate the pattern, it would take me a week, lol.

Finally I smoothed everything out and blended while additionally adding more color to her skin tone and here we have the final product:

You captured the movement of the water so perfectly, not easily done!- well done my dear!

Thank you dayleeo! I worked on it all day, the styles for the contests are so hard, not sure if I manged realism but I tried! 😀

Even though it's still art and highly creative, I think realism takes a TON of left brain thinking- something I'm definitely lacking 😂 Awesome you pushed yourself though! Congrats!

Love it! Thank you!! And to paint falling water is not easy))) I always wanted to try too)))

Thank you haha I was a bit scared to do the water but it looks fairly fluid! Thank you for this difficult challenge :)

It's so cool seeing the process you go through to create something like this.
Really cool babe

Thanks I think a lot of people like seeing the steps too, most of the time you don't get to see behind the scenes

It's really cool, cheers for showing your process.
