Here's a quick tutorial on how I paint male lips in colors. Wanted to do a tutorial for women's lips at first... but I just had to do a guy instead XD I start my paintings in black and white, then add colors and I paint with colors over those layers. I planned to post a longer version of this video on my YT channel, but that will have to wait a bit till I have more time to render it. I’ll announce when longer version will be available XD
And these are few crazy face expressions which I did for practice after midnight. Ash was my test bunny again XD It’s a bit more sketchy than my usual work, but hopefully you’ll still find it useful. You can download this sheet on my website here where you can also find my other tutorials and references. Enjoy.
And here's progress how I do my 1-2 hour doodles, since some of you were interested seeing that. I'll describe how I did my pic of Ash (numbered image), since it have the most progress images (and I use Photoshop CC). The same progress was used at other two drawings. Size of doodles is A4 format.
1. Grey rough sketch | 2. Adding colors on Soft Light and Overlay layers. Rough detailing | 3. Detailing with Hard Round Pressure Opacity brush (I change Hardness from 0-80%) | 4. Changing expression | 5-6. Detailing with Hard Round Pressure Opacity brush (settings the same as before) | 7. Adding glow around him on Screen layer. Adding textures on his shirt with textured brushes | 8. Smudging | 9. Finished painting (added more filters such as Contrast, Levels, Selective Color...and color changing with Overlay layer...also Lens Correction, Smart Sharpen and Noise).
