A good reference is picked out first. After that, handling the background comes next. Getting the right gradient makes all the better.
Wet Paint is where you can go to view work and the process made to create it. It is a place to go to learn and see the latest updates by the artist, Melany Meza-Dierks.

Step 1: Background
A good reference is picked out first. After that, handling the background comes next. Getting the right gradient makes all the better.
Step 2: Drawing
Drawing is done with white paint to figure out where things generally go. Loose, swift strokes help through the process.
Step 3: Sculpting
the white paint is applied with one thin layer at a time. Where the lightest parts of the skin are will be where more layers of paint are applied. the image will start to build as you go.
Step 4: A Realistic Portrait
The reference is the guide the entire way through. Studying the shape of the face and concentrating on the lights and darks, along with smooth blending allows for a convincing Amy Winehouse.
Step 5: Adding the Makeup
when the makeup is added, you have to "figure out" the eyes and nose all over again but, by the 2nd time, it's easier to figure out. first, everything is "blacked" out. then creativity with the more decorative elements follows.
