PORTRAIT PAINTING FOR MOBILE
Let’s put some of these concepts to work in a quick portrait painting!
Many of these features can also be used in the mobile version of Artrage Vitae, so here is a stepby-step portrait painting done on my ipad Pro.
(A) Create a canvas with a nice paper texture. (B) Lay in the big shapes with simple, angular lines and begin to block the dark values. (C) Work towards covering the canvas with local colour. (D) Block in the lighter values as you finish with the darks and midtones. (E) Add a new layer, drop the opacity to around 50% and paint in colourful light and shadow on top of your portrait. Now change the blend mode of that layer to Overlay. (F) Finalise the painting!
