Portrait Lab Project

[Jose Talbott]

Thank you for checking out my sketchbook!

This is a project I'll be doing till October 7th for my drawing class in school (Guildhall at SMU). I’m working on my first major ‘practice’ piece in digital painting using Photoshop. The basic rule of the assignment is to paint the picture to a photo real state only using the eye dropper tool to get color picks.


Be brutal, please

----------------------------

Project Outline:

1. Find a Subject (Photo) of a person with a high level of detail in it

2. Pencils – Define the details, features and proportions of the subject

3. Values – Work up a black/white version of the subject

4. Colors – Work up colors and skin details to high level of realism

----------------------------

Current Progress:

It's coming along pretty well so far. The hair doesn't look so good, its one of the harder things to paint here. Keep your eye on subtle tonal blends.

Hello again this my second pass at the face today,fixed the hair up too. I'm really starting to see the diffrence in tone now, but still getting lost in the fine details, any help i'd appreciate thanks.
