Hello fellow steemians, greetings!
To make a better outcome of what we are doing, we need to practice.
I used the face card of Filipina celebrity —Marian Rivera as reference for semi realistic painting.
The whole process of this painting was uploaded on my YouTube channel. If you're interested about my art type and you wanna learn how to do it, I'll recommend you to watch my 8 min painting process and I hope you can get some tips there. :))
(Please scroll until the end and you'll see the final result in one canvas. Thank you!)
I had a hard time finishing this art practice. Adding too much layers caused storage to run out until ibis paint X app can't function properly.
Sometimes my art also corrupts so I restore it. Sufficient storage is really needed for making digital arts.
I added a layer where I drew the outlines.
Second, base. This is where you start coloring the base color.
Next, painting time. You pick the color on the reference picture and and paint the part according to the colors using the pen fade brush. And that's how it is, as we see below.
Then blending time! I used airbrush for blending. Just paint it till the colors are blended. And that's how it is, as we see below. The forehead were still the blended part.
Then finish the face. Draw and paint the eyes, nose mouth and eyebrows.
Done painting!
I also saved the extracted black and white version.
That's all fellow steemians! Thank you for giving a time to view this blog!
