First up for the new year, it's human portraiture! I have been
shying away from drawing human portraits for years because I find it
harder to capture the likeness. Those who know the person in the
drawing would quickly tell me if I succeeded or not. Unlike animals,
no one would complain. Haha...
Here's the portrait of
my niece, Ianna. A gift for her 18th birthday. Painting straight in
color still intimidates me, so as a safety method and as always, I
started painting in greyscale. Making sure the value structure was
right, All the hard work was done at this stage. Once I was satisfied
with it, I then glazed-in the color on a top layer set in the color
blend mode. I used Clip Studio Paint Ex this time, which is very
similar to Photoshop.
So for this year, I'm thinking of expanding my artistic horizon and include humans in my drawings and paintings. Might do some of my fave celebrities. Watch out for it!
