Task 3: Portraiture ( complementary color )


Digital portrait painting is to paint portrait digitally. 

This task is to do a digital portrait painting by using complementary color and help us to learn the basic of digital portrait painting. I have done two work for this task.


Work 1:


First, I do a rough sketch and make a color palette at the side. 


Then, start to paint a base color for the face.


Next, I start to paint the eyes. The method is just same as how you paint a cube, bare in mind that always must have shadow,mid tone and highlight.


After that, paint the teeth and add on the highlight.


Moreover, I disable the sketch layer and the color palette layer, then change the background to black color.


Finally, add on the complementary color of green.
