In this course I’ll provide a walkthrough of my entire portrait painting process from fundamentals on proportions to complex understanding of light and color when painting the portrait. I’ve described in detail how I use blending brushes and layer modes to capture a traditional painting approach in a digital medium. Throughout the course you’ll be able to reach out and ask me questions about the painting process.
Here are some things you’ll learn throughout the course…
•Very basic fundamentals of facial proportions and shapes for sketching your own ideas
•How to turn a head or face in perspective
•How light rays work to create highlights and where to place them
•That color can be relative and how to control it
•My unique approach to building a palette
•How to quickly and concisely tone your drawings
•Paint a masterful portrait from initial lay-in to finishing touches
I fully believe that my unique approach to digital painting will build a solid base for you to grow or even level up your own digital skillset and add to your toolbox. These are tried-and-true methods that I’ve developed over years of traditional and digital painting. Everything we cover is readily applicable in your own work and I highly recommend you start a portrait project to put these skills to test alongside me! Let’s get to work!
