Digital Painting Tutorial: Painting Faces
Concept Art Genre: Sci-Fi Characters
Subject: Female Character
Why are faces so hard to paint? It comes down to the baggage of human psychology.
Humans are hard wired to read and interpret facial expressions, which means that if even the slightest detail is off—the human mind will inherently pick up on it. The skin's visual texture, facial form and facial anatomy all have the power to alienate or engage the viewer.
In this 10 minute video I challenge you to practice blending realism with your artistic technique—to create a compelling character. So grab your stylus and let's paint your world.
Key Take-Aways: How to create a lifelike character by playing with Anatomy, Form and Skin to produce character, personality and emotion.
→ Facial Anatomy
→ Facial Form
→ Painting Skin
