How to deal with stress and how to paint portraits

Hi! How are you guys? Are you drawing a picture?

 

😅 Actually, it was hard for me to draw a picture. The reason is ...

I was studying painting with the goal of not relying on the lines like the one above.

"A picture that doesn't rely on lines" was a picture that I was forced to draw. As the creative time increased, so did the stress.

 

So I heard and heard the thoughts of various painters, and as a result, I came up with the idea, "Let's draw with my average value!".

But I haven't given up on "painting that doesn't rely on lines", it's about reducing the frequency of drawing.

 

If any of you, like me, are reluctant to draw for some reason, why don't you stop for a moment and think about it?

The introduction was long, I'm sorry 😅

 

When painting portraits, I make separate layers, such as "skin," "clothes," and "base layer," as shown in the image above.

 

Then, clip the new layer on top of the base layer and paint it with the color you feel roughly.

 

 

Use the "Smooth Watercolor" watercolor tool to blend the roughly painted colors.

 

Also, shadows such as clothes should be surrounded by a selection and filled with the color of the shadow you imagine, as shown in the image above.

 

 

You can create a natural light expression by blurring the boundary of shadow colors with the "smooth watercolor" mentioned earlier, or by spraying white with an airbrush.

 

 

The rest is hair, but I'm conscious of the flow of hair, I'm sorry for the brief explanation 😅.

 

There is also a video, but since it overlaps with what I explained here, please watch the video only if you really want to see what you are drawing!

Thank you for watching until the end.

 

I'm posting [Understanding] drawing videos on YouTube.

Please take a look at the channel if you like.

 

Thank you.

 

See you again!

I'll draw without stress! 😊
