Content
Sped it up. NO INTROS AND OUTROS.. coz it's just us here.... hahaha. Tried to make it under 30 minutes so it's easier to watch hehe
So in this video, I showed just the painting process of the main subject, without the usual objects around. But I heard you besties, I'll definitely make another post about references, and objects next time!
Here's the summary and timestamps of the things I showed in the video:
0:15 Reference picture @ parkerkithill
0:27 Simplify face shape
0:44 I’ll observe the space around the subject, turn those spaces into simple shapes and copy those shapes to my painting
1:18 sometimes when you color pick, you don’t get the exact color you want so i usually just adjust the colors myself after the color pick!
1:42 I’ll fill the face shape with base colors
2:42 I usually start with the eyes
3:49 To match with the reference pic, I’ll just observe the spaces around the part (like what i did here on this post)
3:55 For example, you can see that the space between the pupil & lower eyelid is shorter on the photo than what I did
4:01 So I’ll just adjust the lower eyelid & try to match it with the photo
4:57 On this part of the ref pic, you can see the sharp change of color on the lower eyelid, so I’ll do that on my painting too
5:21 This highlight here looks like a triangle, so again! I’ll make the shape on the painting too
6:30 Now that I’m done with the eye part, I’ll use it as a reference point to figure out where to put the other parts.
8:42 I made this part wider than it’s supposed to be so I’ll adjust it to math the reference!
10:55 I’ll do the simple shape method here again!
11:01 Make the nose into a simple triangle shape
18:25 bottom of the ear is the same level as the top lip
18: 53 I’ll keep comparing the placements until i match the whole face
19:04 now onto the next part, the neck!
19:14 Add other warm colors to the face
20:30 finally done with the face, here’s what it looks like with the paper overlay
20:52 next part of the painting, the shirt!
22:15 then the hand!
22:33 finger same level as the chin
22:46 I use different colors for the fingers to avoid confusion when i start painting each finger
24:55 now the bag!!
26:07 next, the pants
27:30 Here I’m finding a background color that matches the vibe of the subject!
27:39 Last part, adding effects, grains and textures
I'll definitely make a longer, complete, vlog-like process video next time. My whole art desk set up is such a mess, I'm trying to move this year, just looking for a nice turtle shell to move into. So for now I could only provide process videos in the dark haha
Have a great monday besties!!!!!!
