Automatically translated by machine. I have a lot of insanely talented friends
and I really want to introduce you guys to some of them.
Recently I've gotten back into painting so I thought I would introduce you first to Celina
of Fables in Fashion by painting a watercolour portrait of her.
I've included these painting videos in vlogs before but let me know what you think of them
as stand alone videos. These are the photos I was inspired by.
Click here to see her Fables video on the look!
Starting with a blank page. Celina makes a new video every Friday.
Her videos are tutorials on beautiful artistic looks.
I'm using a waterbrush for this painting. I keep the reference photo handy to make sure
I'm doing ok. In this video she created the mask completely
out of make up. She even sewed the dress and corset herself.
Drawing done, it's time for colour. I always do skin first.
I do basic wash. Then start blending in shadows.
Her videos have really cool special effects in them too.
I blend a custom skin colour depending on the subject,
She is also a really talented cosplayer. Next is a basic wash on the red areas.
And then the creases with more burt sienna. Now time for the hair. Again a basic wash.
One of the reasons I love Celina's videos is how creative she is in the storytelling.
Shadows in burt sienna. I added details to the mask in a mix of yellows.
Washes in the lips and eyebrows now. Then I filled in the small mask with red and
added the eye details with more burnt sienna. Next I took care of the larger details like
lips and eyes. And then the mask.
While the rest dried I took care of the background using burt sienna again.
Then it was finishing touches on the mask. So definitely check out Celina's channel for
really creative videos. And also because she's a super nice person!
I re-outlined everything in more burt sienna, god so much burnt sienna!
I also added some small white details for highlights.
Tadaa! So I hope you guys enjoyed this, let me know
what you think in the comments. I've filled another couple of these already
but if you have requests let me know. It's been fun learning old techniques around
and I'm looking forward to improving again. Thanks for watching!
