Description
ENGLISH VERSION FULLY REDONE. FRENCH VERSION COMING SOONJust for the record, this tutorial has already been online for two years.
Updated version now includes :
- tips about blending,
- a detailed schema about facial proportions,
- screenshots of the tools used and tips about these tools
- I fixed some typos.
About blending : NO, there's no specific tool used, I just used the paintbrush as mentionned clearly in the tutorial.
Pretty please guys, READ the tutorial before asking.
I've already received 4 notes about blending yesterday some seconds right after I reposed the tutorial, I know that part was somehow missing in the previous tutorial since I had not explained it in a very detailed way with painted examples (I thought that was clear enough but it apparently wasn't) but it's now fully explained.
Thank you!
I won't reply to any question about things already explained here unless someone has got real trouble figuring them out as I've got way too many other things to do so please read the tut carefully

TECHNICAL STUFF I've used Photoshop CS3 to paint this, you can download a free trial version on Adobe's website if you don't have it yet! Older versions will work too of course. I'm not sure you can find the Liquify tool in versions older than Photoshop CS though....
Original painting resolution : 9000 x 6714px, 300 dpi. No need to paint such a big image though... I just wanted to be able to print it on a very large size

CREDITS I would appreciate if you fav/credit it if you found it useful so it can reach more people. Thank you! I'd love to see what you can do with it, so don't hesitate to link me your creations, I'll take a look at them
You may translate it to share it if you want but PLEASE don't change it adding or removing things. Translation must be as accurate as possible to avoid things being hard to understand for the reader. THANK YOU

This is beautiful, can I ask what size images you work on and what res? When I try painting anything, it is hard for me to paint the details it feels like

I've been looking at this tutorial forever and absolutely love it. Your work is gorgeous. I had always wanted to paint those eyes so I created a picture with them in using your tutorial and method. I've linked you in the description along with another artist. Here's the finished piece [link] Hopefully I can be as good as you one day!

This is a very helpful tutorial. I shall be working from this tonight as I'm wanting to get better with using my Wacom tablet. There's not many decent tutorials online (not that I can find) that describe to the caliber that you do and I commend you for that. Fingers crossed my ability gets better from your lovely tut!

This was really great! I've been wanting to learn how to paint digitally for a long time, and I'm just looking into how other people accomplish it now. I think I'm going to have a bit of trouble with it though since I have a hard time painting traditionally and digital painting is still similar.
