Course Description
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!

I'm a narrative illustrator working in the games and publishing industry. For as long as I can remember I've been drawing- pulling inspiration from the stories I would read or see. I've worked meticulously at my craft to finally be able to inspire others like I was inspired from a young age.

Boy o Boy, Where do I start, Firstly no material ( jpeg files, etc for reference ) is provided with the tutorial. How on earth are you supposed to go along with it? Even other people have asked for those references among other questions, which the "instructor" hasn't answered in over a year. Secondly, the "instructor" while teaching says that if it weren't for teaching purposes he would just trace the image. Also, the fact that the reference image isn't at all being followed in the tutorial. what are we doing here?

This course gave me lots of ideas of things I can try when painting digitally. I appreciated seeing the way the color palette was organized with the colors blended together. This course quickly covers light, form and anatomy. Lots of great tips for finishing touches in the final details section.

Loved this course... This course is for people who are very familiar with photoshop and also have a bit of basic knowledge about painting..

I really like the content of the course, so I do not really have to say something about it. The thing that really sort of bothers me es the fact, that I would expect from a course that is sould to people, that the producer would put at least a little effort into the sound quality, because it really is very bad and it is neither expencive nor very difficult nower days to get that issue fixed.

This course is fantastic! Thought I knew everything about sketching something from a reference photo and such. Turns out, no. :D Thank you for a short but yet very inspiring, informative set of videos! I'll very much likely find myself rewatching them in the future. :)
