Not Finished Portrait
This is a portrait of my sisters husband. Can anyone give me some hint, how I can give good color values to it? Airbrush with low opacity and floating?
Hey thanks for the link! I found Xias palette here too. Maybe ill try with some of them. Hm, yes the grey is too dark, but it wasnt final, too. I wanted to lighten it later. I want to make the lighting/geometry with greyscale color and then give only 1 or 2 final color. Would that work?
Thank you very much for the hint pokepetter! But I dont know exactly what you mean. Do you mean the face lighting/shadowing or the edges like eyes/nose. Or do you mean no soft brush at all things? Thanks! :)
Nice dude, maybe you can use this palette (http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/27-Aug-2005/59753-colorpalette.JPG) to colour the skin ^^
ReplyDeleteI think that maybe the skin is more dark than the normal skin, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteYou're probably better off using a hard brush instead of a soft brush. You have much more edge control that way. Use brush opacity to blend.

ReplyDeleteYou might also wane add some part of the neck and shoulders later.
ReplyDeleteYou can take a look here

when you're using a soft brush all the edges will get soft. However, if you use a hard edged brush you can decide exactly where to soften the edges.
