Artist's Comments



Level: INTERMEDIATE


There isn't much to say - it's an easy to follow tutorial in which I show and explain in 15 steps how to paint a portriat.

I do NOT go into detail about which brushes to use, or how to paint eyes, lips or a nose - you need to have at least a basic grasp of human anatomy and a basic knowledge of painting to do this.


If you'd like to look at it before deciding to download the zip file, you can do so here.

Hopefully it helps some of you, and feedback (about the tutorial itself - NOT the layout of the pages) is greatly appreciated, as it's the only way for me to know whether or not this is of any use. =]

It isn't hard at all - that's why I called it an Intermediate Tutorial.

If you'd rather comment on the painting itself, you find it in my gallery.
