Here is the final video in my series "a beginners guide to drawing and painting the portrait". In this series I am teaching you how to start the drawing of an image, using a reference image and how to paint it.
In today's video, I am finishing the details such as the main features as well as the hair. I will teach you how to create shadows/tones and highlights. I am encouraging the use of many colors such as blues and red which some people may not associate with being "skin tones" that you would use in a portrait painting.
The video is intended for you to paint along with me. Of course you can pause the video and really take your time with the artwork. I have taken my time to create this tutorial or "how to" video so I really hope that it will prove helpful to some of you practicing artists out there.
This video is intended for absolute beginners, I feel that showing slight mistakes like this is valuable as I can then go on to explain how to fix the problem.
Please note, this portrait is NOT intended to be a perfect painting. I am simply trying to encourage people who may be wanting to refresh their skills or take up painting the figure/portrait from the very start.
