Hi my name is Alaina, and I’m speaking on behalf of Expert Village. And I’m going
to be giving you some tips on art today. When you’re doing a human form, if you want to
start filling in with colors so any kind of paint. This is water color that I started
here you want to start with the basic form drawing the form first and once you have her
basic shape in you don’t want to do any shading in pencil you want to do it all in
your paint. So you want to start with, find out where the light source is coming from,
in my picture right here it’s coming from her side. So when it looks down on it, her
darkest parts are going to be on the opposite side of where the light source is. So that’s
where I want to start painting first. I want to start with the darkest parts and fill in
where the darkest parts on her body are and then start shading over and make it look lighter
and lighter as I come closer to where the light source is shining on her body.
