Anime Girl with Sword Picture

The Smudge Tool will help us to smudge the bounds a little.



Giving the necessary woolen texture to the textile is possible by copying the layer with the coloring (ctrl+j). Erase everything on it, except the clothes. First we should hide the visibility of the main colored layer by clicking on the eye near the layer. That is what you should get:



Select the next combination Filter – Texture – Grain with the following adjustments:



Then decolorize the layer: Image – Adjustments – Desaturate (shift+ctrl+u). Group it with the main colored layer (ctrl+g) and blur it out a little, selecting the filter (Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur).



Change the layer's type on Luminosity and minimize the Opacity till 75%.



Combine these layers (ctrl+e) and create a new layer that must be grouped with the colored layer (сtrl+g). Choose now a brush with smooth edges and white color and decolorize the edges of the clothes, the hair and the girl's instrument on her shoulder. Decolorize some places near the contours.



Copy this layer and move the copy under the layer with white stripes, blur it out (Gaussian Blur) and change its color into yellow one, using the next command: Image – Adjustments – Selective Color.



Continue with the background's layer. It must be painted with the same color, the lightest girl's hair is. Make a copy of this layer using eyedropper tool and apply on a new layer above the previous one Filter – Render – Clouds.



Process the upper layer now. Its brightness and contrast should be changed: Image – Adjustments – Brightness/Contrast.



Then change its color with Image – Adjustments – Hue/Saturation (ctrl+u).
