This tutorial describes the<br />
working process behind my<br />
portrait, Pardon. I used several<br />
objects and textures from the library in<br />
DAZ Studio 3. In addition to Photoshop, I<br />
utilised Photoshop’s virtualPhotographer<br />
filter and the Rons Pinstriping brushes. For<br />
editing in Photoshop, I also used a Wacom<br />
tablet. At the beginning of my <strong>art</strong> projects, I<br />
often only have a rough idea of the final<br />
result, without any exact vision. My policy is<br />
more intuitive than conceptual. I experiment<br />
with a range of varied equipment before I<br />
decide upon a definite procedure. However, in<br />
the interests of establishing a chronological order<br />
to my workflow, I will waive some of the<br />
experimental steps in this guide. As with all of my<br />
portraits, the gestures and, above all, the facial<br />
expression and look in the eyes are the most<br />
important elements for me. From the st<strong>art</strong>, I had<br />
quite a clear impression of what I was trying to<br />
achieve with the image, even if the picture itself<br />
was not already formed in my head – this aspect<br />
evolved as the project progressed.<br />

In this portrait, expression and gestures are of<br />
great importance when it comes to depicting a<br />
realistic face with a touch of fantasy <strong>art</strong><br />
