HI GUYS
Today, I did a painting of a African-American lady. Initially, I just wanted to do some sketching, but at some point I decided to add some colors. But my main approach was to use bigger shapes, then blend it with texture brushes. Also, I made use of pen tool, because I wanted the edges to be sharp.
It's the fastest and atomic way of painting portraits. I used it when I'm practicing. Enjoy the process below
