In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we’ll create a hyper-realistic paint drip portrait on A3 drawing pad paper with an 11×14 inch drawing area. Starting with a smooth graphite powder background, you’ll learn how to layer base tones, blend with brushes and tissue, and carve out highlights using Mono Zero and kneaded erasers. The lesson covers shading realistic skin textures with dotting and blending techniques, detailing the lips, nose, and neck, and building lifelike hair with fine erasing and layering. You’ll also discover how to add the striking red paint effect with colored pencils and refine the highlights with an electric eraser for maximum contrast.
