Digital painting

Done with Photoshop CS6 & Wacom Tablet.

I fancied doing a digital painting of real human, I had never painted before, again just for a little bit of practice, and always with my favourite same technique so here is how I worked my painting:

- Doing a line art with a hard edge brush to help as a guides for the shading;
- Shading with a soft brush and some "Overlay" mode ;
- Colouring using a soft brush and "Color" mode;
- Using the awesome "Mixer Brush" tool (no more complex smudge tool needed!) to smooth some area of the colouring.

The reference photo for this work was from Hart-Worx.

It took many hours of staring at my computer screen, I feel kind of proud of the final result, so I hope you like it!

Thank you so much for viewing!
