portrait 01

digital painting

software: Adobe Photoshop

This digitally painted portrait was created entirely in Adobe Photoshop, utilizing a variety of brush techniques and custom settings to achieve a smooth yet detailed grayscale rendering. The process involved experimenting with smoothing, flow, and opacity adjustments combined with a mix of preset and custom brushes to refine textures and depth.

Hair and facial details were carefully built up using specialized brush packs designed for digital painting, allowing for a controlled and realistic finish. This piece served as both a technical exercise in brush proficiency and an exploration of Photoshop’s digital painting tools to create realistic shading and form.
