Secrets of Portrait Painting With Cesar Santos

Fundamentals of Portrait Drawing

In this tutorial, the lecturer will use portrait to improve the understanding of light and shadow and human structure, and to shape the perspective by applying the characteristics of brushes and layers. This course is divided into two parts. The first part is to get familiar with the basic operation process of bust of a figure, and the second is the whole figure and its basic knowledge that we need to know about. The learning process will start with how to find the appropriate practice materials, how to compose a figure and how form arrange the composition. Then we will continue to extract the skeleton of the character, find the key structure point of the face and the body to be the reference of the sketch. Then we will finish the gray level by using the color blocks, and analyze how to draw the facial features and the body, and finally coloring the picture after the gray level.
