What it concludes
- Rushing construction drawings makes paintings fall apart at the end, so spend adequate time calculating light and shadow foundations.
- Avoid using pure black for shadows on skin because it makes skin look muddy; use saturated and colorful tones instead.
- Avoid using pure white for light in eyes to prevent a demented look; use light gray for whites of eyes and reserve brightest white for highlights.
- Break hair rendering into three sections—big shape, medium shape, and small fine details—using soft and textured brushes.
- Add color variation across the face instead of using only one color wash to add realism to portraits.
