🎨TUTORIAL//Fantasy Portrait Beginning to End Walkthrough

Added 2023-08-22 13:00:08 +0000 UTC

Hello hello! In this tutorial I'm bringing you along for the ride as I create a fantasy portrait and I'll explain what I'm doing throughout the process! This is a character focused tutorial so we'll be spending a lot of time on the character above the waist (hence "portrait") and will include a bit of background and some magic effects!

I have done my best bring you along for the whole process and not skip any steps in this tutorial, so I hope you find it insightful and pick up some helpful nuggets along the way!
