About the Lesson
In this lesson, you will learn how to:
Construct accurate anatomical proportions of a face in a three-quarter view, capturing the expressiveness of the eyes, soft definition of the lips, and the delicate curve of the neck.
Master stunning rim and backlighting, creating a glowing golden halo effect through the hair and smoothly integrating the facial contours into the surrounding atmosphere.
Blend lifelike, natural skin tones (carnation) and render the light, airy texture of soft tresses drifting in the wind.
