The process of creating a portrait

The process of creating a portrait 1 the sketch: The preparation of the sketch is the key to creation. The clarity and maturity of the sketch is the concentrated embodiment of the author's thoughts and feelings, comprehensive expression power and composition ability. The sketch must determine the concreteness of the basic expression and image of the painting. 2 On the canvas: I'm usually in the habit of enlarging the sketch to get the accuracy and affirmation I want. After enlarging the sketch on the original draft, I will make some necessary modifications and further enrich it. I hope that I have shown clear expression power in the draft stage. 3 color: My way of expression is more direct. I say that I pay more attention to the first feeling, and I will choose the local beginning which I think plays a key role. In this way, the first color often determines the color shadow expression of the whole work. The face of the figure is undoubtedly the most important. I asked myself to paint some parts at once when I felt the best, which required a good grasp of the powerful shape ups and downs in each stroke. The intensity of the color and the thickness of the color layer sometimes the picture will appear unexpected effects, which is just the natural expression of painting imagination, so in my working method, good control and confirmation is very important. Generally speaking, my drawing method at this stage is not very regular. I will only start to draw several relevant parts at the same time, and some parts need to be drawn repeatedly. 4. Overall adjustment: This stage is critical. Need more patience, this stage is not easy as the last stage is pleasure, that is the feeling of stage, the more excited, but this stage on the one hand, make up some weak part of the picture, the other side is trying to make every part of the picture full of expression and appeal, sometimes also can appear at this stage is very exciting, this is what I want. In general, my expressions are designed to suit my own strong intuition. I believe that different expressions are created by different artistic temperaments. If I can help my friends, I will be happy.
