STEP 1.
First step is to use a dominant value that helps to start comparing the tone, use a neutral color similar to the average color of the face
STEP 2.
Start with a basic sketch drawing, focus on construction lines and dominant value. At this step do not care much about accuracy, the target is to have some lines and tone to develop the next steps where you will really need to focus on accuracy
STEP 3.
At the beginning use non-saturated colors and draw soft edges. Check constantly the tone and relations of tone between each area, squint to check the tone.
STEP 4.
Advance adding the correct tone for each area, this is an iterative process (correcting proportions, adding tone, blending edges, correcting proportions again)..
STEP 5.
I block in the value of the eyes to serve as a starting point to compare the tone with other adjacent areas. Do not make it too dark, leave the darkest tones to the end
STEP 6.
Here I start working on other areas, sketching the neck and white dress
STEP 7.
I use smaller Photoshop brushes and control the opacity with the pen pressure. Start focusing on some details and correcting proportions
STEP 8.
I correct tone and blend edges
STEP 9.
I used complementary colors into the background to add interest, then blended the edges
STEP 10.
Here I continue blending and softening edges, squinting to see the global picture and checking the details of tone and value. Hope you liked this! Come join Art-and-Supplies.com and spread the word!Comments: Post Comment

GODDDD FREAKINN AMAZING

Thank you for your answer. It's really helpful to know. It does look like you used very low opacity to your first few steps. I may try a realistic portrait in digital one day. Your tutorial sure has inspired me. Again, thank you!

Hi catlucker
I worked with only one layer, I follow the same process as if painting with oils on canvas, so no tricks needed :-)
I set very low opacity to the brushes and go from light to darker and from neutral color to saturated, also from large brushes to smaller ones at the end.
Hope this helps!

This is a very comprehensive tutorial. I love the small pen strokes made in her hair and face. A few things though to help with Photoshop newbies like me. 1) How many layers do you do this picture in? Or do you work from the background layer only? 2) What type of brush styles--blurred or full strength type? 3) What brush sizes do you use? 4) Also do you use Opaque intensity at all? Thank you!
