In this lesson you'll learn the rest of the fundamentals necessary to paint a realistic portrait. Daniel will start by showing you a few of his shading techniques. Then you'll study male and female facial structures, creating your own sketches along the way. After that, you'll explore your artistic capabilities with a few different drawing styles. Finally, you'll use photo reference to create a detailed black and white portrait. 

Now that you're able to accurately draw what you see, you can begin creating your own original character portrait. You'll begin by coming up with a concept and gathering references. You'll then use this inspiration to thumbnail, build out, and add value to the image. After this, Daniel will help you to add details to your black and white drawing, before getting everything ready for color in the next lesson.
