Now, I want to share step by step my digital painting techniques in Photoshop. I want to make people portrait, I choose Vanessa Anne Hudgen. My concept is a woman who is enjoying the canary singing, on a warm afternoon. The title is "Melodic". I hope this digital painting tutorial will be useful. Finished version: Melodic.
1. I make outline from my reference picture at the new layer (above background layer). You can see my reference picture here. No detail outline is needed.

2. Make basic shape of the face, at the new layer, and place under the outline layer. I need the sharp edge, so I set the Brush Hardness: 100%.
3. You must choose shadow and highlight color, place in the new layer. Then, add some rough shadow (remember, each step, place it in the new layer, for facilitate when editing/ finishing). You can see my brush setting, here: Tutorial Basic Digital Painting, I always use that brush setting.
4. Make eyes and eyebrow. To make eyelash and eyebrow, I use this brush setting (F5): Shape dynamics, Control: pen pressure.
