step60

Legs darkened.

step61

Step 36

Go to the doll body layer. Go to Image > Adjustments > Replace Color and click on the dress so that the image in the black box turns partly white, bringing out the black areas. Move the sliders so that you get a bit different black hue.

step62

Colours are matching better now.

step63

Step 37

Go back to the legs layer and duplicate it. (Layer > Duplicate Layer).

step64

Go to Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical.

Now move them to the bottom so that the ends meet and set layer opacity to 50%.

Set layer mode to Multiply.

While still on the pattern layer, take a hard round eraser and erase the pattern from her sleeves and hands.

step70

Step 41

This is the dress with a nice pattern.

step71

I lowered the opacity to 65%.

step72

Step 42

Take this watch and reduce its size.

step73

Cut off the top with the eraser, pen tool, lasso... whichever you prefer.

step74

Watch without top.

step75

Go to Hue/Saturation, but this time select "Yellows" from the drop down menu and move the Saturation and Lightness sliders all the way to left. Then lower Vibrance by -50.

step76

Clock has now matching colours. However, it has a white border.

step77

Step 43

Like with the legs, select area around the clock, go to Selection > Expand, but this time expand by 2px. Hit Delete. Press Ctrl + D to release selection.

      But please stop using deviantart and unrepeatable websites for stock. I especially hate deviantart because of the outlandish rules some providers set.
