T'boli Princess

My inspiration for this image is the T'boli, are one of the indigenous peoples of South Cotabato in Southern Mindanao, Philippines. This is my illustration of a young T'boli princess.

At first i started with the face in gray scale mode  then i used curves to colorize. And then later on i started to paint the body and the headdress.

Then, i added the clothes and details on the headdress.

Then i started working on the background, i used watercolor effects custom brushes.

Adding details on the clothes and the ornaments

And here is the Final Image

Done in Photoshop. Thanks for viewing!
