How I draw a portrait with a drawing tablet. Steps included.

Hello Community

Today I will be taking you through the process that I use to draw a portrait. I created a portrait of Hive account@tatiana21 some time ago. Here I will show the steps I use and show some progress steps.

This is the finished drawing:

How did I draw it

Step 1 - rough sketch with a basic brush

The main purpose of this step is just to get a rough idea of the eyes, nose, hair etc are. It does not have to be super accurate at this point as it can still be refined.

Step 2 - Color the portrait in

This step is just to get the base color in, refining of color, tone and shadow can occur later.
I spend a lot of time drawing the eyes, and to me the most important part of a portrait are the eyes.

Step 4 - Start refining the portrait

This is where I work on the detail in the hair, work on the tones and shadows. Now we just need the background.

Step 5 - Add the background
