Hello. My name is Ariya Abeen AKA NPye.

I am a new instructor here but I have 13 years of experience in painting portraits and I also have 10 years of experience working digitally and today I will share my tips and tricks for painting portraits with you guys.

In this class, I will go over the fundamentals of semi-realistic portrait painting using Photoshop. After you get the fundamental knowledge, you can apply it to your own work and create your own semi-realistic portraits.

This class will be aimed at beginners so don't worry about your drawing skills too much. In this class, I will be showing you my methods and real-time process of painting portraits. Feel free to follow along as I show what to pay attention to and what common mistakes to watch out for.

I will be using photoshop for this class but you can also use other software depending on your personal preferences.

In this class, you will learn

- The head structure

- Photoshop basic

- Tips and tricks to draw facial features

- How to adapt the realistic proportion into your style and so on

- How to shade and color your painting in a Semi-Realistic style

I will explain step by step the entire process from start to finish. Included are a free brush set and resources.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. :D

Alright, grab your pencil and see you in the class!

Bryan San Martin
