Digital Painting: Realistic Portraits from Sketch to Finish

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!
