Human Eye

A photo realistic human eye is captured in exquisite detail using the airbrush.  This is painted on synthetic paper using createx illustration colour paints.

I use only a few erasers, a medium eraser and an Aggressive eraser. No stencils are used in this project but the skin texture stencil is perfect for making life easy.

Included in the tutorial is a full colour HD reference, a colour chart with every colour used broken down into the exact ratios (by drop) that I use in the tutorial so you can follow along with absolute confidence in your colours.

Also included is a digitally altered file of the reference photo that will allow you to effortlessly transfer your reference to your synthetic paper.

This tutorial is broken down into 4 chapters, each over an hour in length.

This is the perfect introduction into realism/hyperrealism and is great way to start your portrait journey.

Topics covered are:

• Introduction
• Creating realistic skin texture without stencils
• Depth of field and how to create a real sense of depth and focus
• Colour theory
• Opaque/transparent colours - why we use them when we do and what are the benefits of each
• Extension principle
• Error correction - how to correct a genuine error in the worst place possible, made easy.  Every step shown and explained, the error made is not fabricated for the tutorial and shows a real time view of how any mistake can be easily fixed.
