Light (Part 4/ More Practice)

The all intention of this practice is understand, but I have to be honest, some things I have no idea how they exist, so in those parts just follow the example.
Anyway I hope I can start lighting enviroments after this, here is the practice of today!

I follow a simmilar approach as mentioned before but is kind of slow.

This time again I show the process of this painting, which took me like 6 hours, and just 1 layer of total,
well as some asked, here is the step by step.

Believe it or not this part is the hardes, took me like 30 minutes to figure out this mesh, is the most important
thing in a portait.-
 One thing I have to say is that this was a 3 point lighting portrait, is one of the hardest kind of situations for recreation, because the little contrast which seems in more hard time finding the right tones and values, which the whole point of this excercises is to recreate the light with in, is just a true challenge and make things more difficult.

Then just continue

And the image has been completed.
The process of portraits, needs a solid understanding of the basics of shading and the total understand of anatomy (proportions, bones, muscles) that just makes things ... like 2 % easier, so better still practicing!

Anyway, here is another quick one.

Well, more Light advance is comming and the next excercise will be really fun to do
stay tune!
Patience as hard as steel and will clinging to the faith!
Keep on!
