PAINTING IN PHOTOSHOP

Hello Steemit!

I wanted to make a full-fledged painting using Photoshop. I had no experience in painting on canvas or anywhere, prior to making this artwork. It took me a lot of time to understand how the shading and the highlights worked, after I normally coloured it, to make the work look more realistic. For this, I wanted to remake a scene from a music video called Euphoria by BTS, Jeon Jungkook is the vocalist. My goal was to redraw this as accurately as possible without using any effects, only brushes. The finished product is this:

Just a small note before I post the steps. My new Instagram handle for my artwork is @ spidart18. I wanted to post this if, it turned out to be decent. I haven't posted it yet, but I will soon.

Alright! First, I drew the outline. I set the mode to Multiply so it would be clearly visible while colouring.

I started painting the jacket first.

I added the highlights and shadows on the jacket next. I remember doing this for hours because no matter how much I tried to mix and blend, it still looked out of place, forced and definitely not realistic! But eventually, after playing around it worked and looked fairly close to the original photo.

Then I painted the shirt. That didn't take too long.

Next was painting the hair, adding the shadows and highlights. It seems I didn't blend it very well. I will remember to do it the next time.

The penultimate part of the painting but not to be taken lightly, no, Sir - the face!

Now we add the eyes and other features.

And finally, we add the sky with clouds background.
