Digital Pastels Tutorial

How I paint a digital pastel portrait?

Generally I use Corel painter, a digital computer program, but I exploit its tools in

a traditional way First I open a blank white paper (file) and my reference photo I prefer a big paper (over 2000.2000pix) because I have a lot of space to work and it

is only in a big file that painting and drawing tools show there real natural

characters

Step 1

I use a sketch or HB pencil tool and begin to draw I start with the eyes and then nose and lips

Step 2

In next stage I add some simple lines to reveal the boundary of the face and hair

Step 3

After that I like to confirm the darker and lighter part of the work (lights and

shades) In this step I don’t waste my time on details and I show only

fundamentals

Step 4

Now I begin to put simple touches of colors on a new created layer

Step 5

Then I begin to work on details I change the size of the tools and also change the

grainy character of it, so I am able to show texture through the patches of colors

Step 6

I stop in the most occasions before I deliver a complete work I like to keep the

sketchy appearance of my works and here you are: the Final work!
