PROCESS
The project began with a detailed study of female facial anatomy to ensure that the portrait would reflect the distinctive characteristics and elegance of female features. This preparatory work was essential for achieving accuracy and depth in the final portrait.
Utilizing Corel Painter, I started with a foundational sketch that outlined the basic structure and proportions of the face. This initial phase set the stage for the complex layers of digital painting that would follow.
As I progressed, I carefully selected brushes that would best replicate the textures and strokes necessary for depicting soft skin tones, delicate facial features, and fine hair.
