This workshop will demonstrate how I paint a portrait from start to end. I will explain how to use lines to define composition, proportion, and facial structure.
I will also illustrate how to set the tone at the beginning, then add details, highlights, and so on. In this process, you will see very clearly the enhancement of light and the gradual increase in details. We will take a look at how I deal with different areas of the portrait, such as hair and clothes, and the face. By the end of this workshop, you will learn about the problems I solved in each step, and know which parts need to be handled carefully.
