Prime Your Canvas

Sketch Your Idea

Lightly draw your design with a pencil or charcoal. It acts as a guide while painting.

Start with Background

Begin painting the background before adding details. Work from large areas to small ones.

Add Details

Make it lifelike! Focus on eyes, hair strands, and subtle skin textures. Highlight with small brushstrokes.
