No matter how many portraits for painting you are going to be using for a particular subject, you will need to make sure that you have enough perspective for your painting. Having reference photos in portrait painting is important, and you should take into consideration a few things for your photos.

 First, you will need to have photos that are especially up to date and are all from around the same time. Over time people will grow up and as they get older they can have more effects on their faces. No one is perfect, but it is important to have plenty of photos from the same time period so that you will be able to have at least a good amount of accuracy in your painting.

Having multiple angles for your reference photos is important too. The portraits for painting that you will be using should be able to give you a good amount of perspective involving the figure that you will be working on. This includes the ability to help with figuring out how different parts of the face or body will look from different angles. By having this it will be better to get an idea with how to design the portrait you are working on.  (more…)

I just finished compiling an Oil, Acrylics, and Drawing Video Compilations sites. Now you can watch the artists painting with oils or acrylics, and drawing without having to search around for them.

Here are the links to the sites:

I am exited because I just put together two sites, one for Painter videos and the other for Photoshop videos compiled in one place.  At each site, you will find  information about each video and a link so that you can add any of the videos to your site.

These are their address:

For Painter digital painting:

For Photoshop digital painting:

If you would like to compile your own set of YouTube videos in your site, contact me and will give you the link for this awesome and very easy to install script. The script requires of a php enable server. You can add your own keywords or keyword phrases to include only the videos related to them. The same goes for Adsense Ads and Amazon related ads. You would only need to register (free) for each in order to earn money per click or purchase, in the case of Amazon.
