PAINT A COLOURFUL FANTASY PORTRAIT
Fantasy illustrations are the perfect opportunity for artists to explore the magical, otherworldly and delightful. Despite the genre’s many clichés, there remain innumerable ways to have fun with your fantasy art. In this workshop I’ll describe my process for generating a colourful fantasy portrait from scratch. During my career I’ve painted many fantasy and sci-fi portraits for various indie games, book covers, short films and more for a variety of clients such as Clip Studio Paint and FairyLoot. I’ve even appeared in previous editions of ImagineFX!
The workshop will feature the key steps of my fantasy portrait creation process including the ideation phase, research and reference gathering, and colour and theme selection, among others. Taken together, they will help you create portraits that convey the classic feeling of fantasy and strikes an immediate chord with the viewer.
In addition, I’ll also describe the Photoshop tools and painting techniques that will help you generate high-quality fantasy portraits that accurately convey the magical vibe
