And at first, I will select the base color, and it is my sketch layer, and I will open new layer under the sketch. Then just start to paint all areas of the portrait with base colors. Just try to build the base shapes. Like the general tones, shadows and highlights. Oh, just like this. And after you make this all change Zoom Zoom in like this, and now we will paint the base colors of the eye. And she has brown hair. I mean brown eye, and I'm selecting colors from the photo reference, and I will share the photo reference with you. You can directly use colors from the photo reference. Okay just like this. And for I, I will select this color and we apply over it. And at this place And I will use darker colors for make it paint like this. Yeah. And I will make this part much more wider. And under nose, we will put shadows. And especially at this area, it is for light and the death heals. O. 3. Painting Lip: No And checks will be much more lighter up here and here. Just like this. And this part and this part. Yeah, just like this. And I will continue from the chin area and will give it a bit much volume. And for lips parts, you can make the base color again. And after it, you can add lights of it just like this. And for this top part, we will paint it just like this. Yeah. And just like this. I'm slowly building the portrait, and at this part, I will use light again. Also, this part is lighter. 4. Painting Hair: Okay. At lip, I will make the lip much more And under lip, there is a really dark shadow. And it will be other light. I'm building slowly. For example, at this part, we can make much more shadows or hair, especially the chin area. Yeah. And I will start adding hairs strokes here. And I will add. This part of the hair will be much more darker and it is blonde hair, so these parts will be a bit blondish. And I will use hairbrush for give it a different texture and detailed textures. No. Yeah. You can always select tin hair brush for adding the tiny hair strokes because we can paint all the tails of hair, but we can create the texture of the hair easily. 5. Improve Shadows: Yeah, let's continue to adding detail over here. This will be a bit darker, and I will make it like this, and it will be and much more tinier just like this. Yep. And maybe I can I will make the canvas flip for seeing my mistakes because mirroring the image will reflsh your eye, and you will see the different kind of mistakes you made. And it is a really good way for create details. For example, it has a dark under eye. And a light here comes like this. And as you can see, there is another light comes from here and comes from this part. It is much more sharper. Yeah, like this. And zoom here and apply lights like this. And at some point, I see this is much more darker. So I need to put some darker and a bit much more pink hue over portrait to make it much more interesting. And here will be lighter at this part. Maybe I can increase the light part, just like this. And it have light colors here. A bit saturated brown comes down like this. And this part also darker. Yeah. Just zoom here and you can see it have some light over nose. And I will paint it like this, just like this and maybe ladle sing textures here like this and much more details here. O 6.

And these parts and part. And this part will be darker maybe this part. And let's zoom into the lip and make it a bit lighter like this. And now I will select this color here and will make lip much more lighter. Also these lights just like this. Much more visible and detailed. And for skin texture, I will use this texture brush, and you can find this brush at my marketplace, and download, if you wish, or you can use any spray brush for catch the same or similar effect for your illustration. Yeah, I will continue to adding it. And let's continue. Yep. And now, what I will going to do is selecting hair brush again and we'll simulate this area with much more lighter colors and much more saturated colors over here, just like this. And Okay, that's all. I will delete this one and I will improve the illustration with my self duplicate it and duplicate it again and go to adjustments saturation and give general saturation just like this and go to the curves and give it a dark curve and light curve and zooming. Now I will open another new layer with a smooth shading brush. Then I will make the layer mod color and will give much more brains over checks and lip just like this. After it, I will open another new layer and we'll select this smooth line brush and zooming. Then I will select eye colors and I will add lights over here. 7. Complete Painting: And for these parts you can use as a highlighter or extra brains. And I will use a bit purplish color for lip gloss, just like this. And for here, I will select lighter color and will apply just like this. You don't need to add every detail exist in the hair, but just focus on the light source, and you can add small details near the light source. And maybe I can make this chucker like this because I don't want to make it same as a reference, and you can add different makeups, different kind of details over skin to see how can you make it much more interesting. Working experimental is really fun. Yeah. And I will put some extra shadows here and here. Yep. And I will delete the extra parts of these corners to make it much more clean. And you can make hair strokes near corners. And it is right part. I will increase the lights, and I will finish the illustration. Hope you enjoy and I can't wait to see you in my class. Yeah.
