The portrait is one of the world's oldest artforms, but today's technology and culture mean it's time to take a fresh look at how today's portrait artists work outside the realms of realism and elevate their technique. The Instagram friendly appeal of the portrait means that the modern version can be seen everywhere on social media as digital artists of all skill levels share their captivating characters, focusing on the face. This much needed book for beginners to digital portraiture goes back to basics (simple anatomy, lighting, color, and perspective) as the starting point for even the most stylized of subjects. Professional artists with recognisable styles, including Loish, Simone Grunwald, and Francisco Garcés, still use these fundamentals. Readers learn from industry professionals how to infuse their subject with believable detail and atmospheric storytelling (especially relevant when working from photographs, as many artists do today). Experts demonstrate step by step their digital workflow, sharing techniques for rendering stylized skin tones, hair, and eyes. Sci fi, fantasy, historical, and anthropomorphic portraits are created. Real world individuals are highly stylized, yet convince the viewer. This is the essential guide for the next generation of portrait artists who want to create contemporary, stylized work that is compelling, emotive, and memorable.

  • Charles M

    This book really helped me to paint (digital & oil paint) better portraits.Tips about composition, colour, what is a good reference, brush style, face features and !Fantastic book, thanks!

  • Sara

    Ho comprato molte guide al disegno digitale negli ultimi mesi e tra tutte questo volume è quello più completo. Dotato di spiegazioni chiare, esempi e approfondimenti, credo possa essere un buon punto di partenza per chi voglia imparare non solo a realizzare dei ritratti, ma anche ad approcciarsi alla pittura (nel mio caso digitale) di altri soggetti. In sostanza, un acquisto di cui sono molto soddisfatta

    Beautiful book with lots of great artist, I love it, although I might be too much of a beginner for this book.

  • wendy

    I was so excited to receive this, lots of info which I appreciate, but unfortunately there is inaccuracy with the color mixes as to how they look on the paper, the colors are off comparing them from the book pages to how the actual color mixes look. Can use printing improvements.
