To create this portrait of the Mistress of Copperhead Mountain, Pavel begins by creating a line sketch to outline basic shapes and proportions, then proceeds to paint in basic color values for vibrance and saturation. Throughout the process you will also learn about his preferred brushes and favorite digital painting tools.
