Hello Community
Today I will be taking you through the process that I use to draw a portrait. I created a portrait of @tatiana21 some time ago. Here I will show the steps I use and show some progress steps.
This is the finished drawing:
How did I draw it
Step 1 - rough sketch with a basic brush
The main purpose of this step is just to get a rough idea of the eyes, nose, hair etc are. It does not have to be super accurate at this point as it can still be refined.
Step 2 - Color the portrait in
This step is just to get the base color in, refining of color, tone and shadow can occur later.
I spend a lot of time drawing the eyes, and to me the most important part of a portrait are the eyes.
Step 4 - Start refining the portrait
This is where I work on the detail in the hair, work on the tones and shadows. Now we just need the background.
Step 5 - Add the background
Hope you enjoyed the post.
Would appreciate if you like, comment and follow
Have a wonderful day
Very well done
Thank you very much
