About the video: Overlapping Elements

Overview

“In this lesson, I will talk about how to integrate elements of color to the portrait. If, as in my case, you choose to add some elements with watercolor to your final project, this is the moment to create them, to avoid that the color gets dirty with the pencil base. I will show you how I isolate these elements in the digital sketch and how I create them expressively. I will also show you other materials that you can use, explaining at what point in the process to integrate them into the portrait according to the chosen medium. ”

In this video lesson lantomo addresses the topic: Overlapping Elements, which is part of the Domestika online course: Contemporary Portraits with Graphite. Combine analog and digital techniques to create realistic pencil portraits filled with emotion.

Feel free to add any details too when you look at your drawing again. It's always good to look at it aft...”
