How to Design and Color Creative Faces Step-by-Step

Learn how to design and color creative faces step-by-step in this Photoshop tutorial. Perfect for character design and digital painting enthusiasts! :)

In this 20-minute video, I'll walk you through my creative process for designing unique and stylized faces! Inspired by a character from the Netflix series "1899," I'll show how I take a reference and transform it into a fresh, original character. The first half of this video focuses on sketching and cleaning up the lines, while the remaining portion dives into the painting and coloring process, where we bring the character to life.

I’m using Photoshop, but feel free to follow along with any drawing software you prefer. Be sure to download my brushes and materials from HABOOK.GUMROAD.COM and follow along!
