Javanese puppet that is also called wayang is one of traditional culture from Java beside traditional music and traditional dance. There are 8 types of wayang in Indonesia such as wayang beber, wayang purwa, wayang madya, etc. In this case, we focus on wayang purwa especially for wayang kulit. There are 223 pieces of wayang kulit for one set. The art of wayang kulit is not only from the real form, but also from the shadow of the puppet. It can be more artistic depending on the motive of small holes on the wayang kulit form. This paper presented a new shadow modeling approach from the real puppet form. We called Color Selective method, which uses image processing especially in color processing concept to get the shadow of the wayang kulit. The method will separate the wayang kulit image and it’s background which it takes 10% of image height and width from four corners of the image. This paper gives a result that color selective method as a new shadow modeling can be applied to get approach of wayang kulit’s shadow model, where wayang kulit image is as the input. As the result, color selective method about 90% same as the input image.
