Peinture à l'huile numérique : créer des portraits picturaux expressifs dans Procreate

Hey Eljan! You are doing great! I see you have already established most of the main masses of values! That's great! Some things to consider: I would work a bit more on defining the lights and darks of the face to better see where the volumes are, before adding darker tones! If you squeeze your eyes slightly at the reference photo, you can see that the right side of the face is a bit darker than the left. You can add some soft lights on the left side, mixing it in with your already established values, and also soften the shadows on the right side. That way you will be able to better see, which areas need nuancing! I would also soften a bit the dark shadows around her nose and on the eyebrow. This is the darkest value in the painting, and I would reserve it for areas such as super dark shadows like the one contouring her face on the right next to the hair or the nostrils (as you rightly did!). Try defining a bit more the lower part of the nose, the one that curves away from us towards the mouth. That will help you to quickly establish volume in your painting! Overall, great progress! Keep on going!

Mrs. Gabriela! Thank you for comments and advice! I'll try this tutorial over and over to make something good :)) Adding lights is most complicated part for me. When it comes to drawing nose and lips is challenging part :/ It's really nice to see that you are telling my mistakes and what parts should I improve :) Tonight I'll post one more drawing after trying &lt;3

You're going good! The good part about digital painting, is that you can rework parts easily! Noses and lips have a more complex structure, but try to see them as shapes of different tones rather than lips or nose. That will help you see which tone (light or dark) to put where and the form will come naturally after the values are correct! Feel free to upload your progress anytime you need advice!

the way she explains is very good. but I'm terrible at digital art  :DD
