5.1 Conclusion
Hello everyone, and welcome back to digital portrait painting and Adobe Photo Shop. My name is Melody Nieves, and it's been my absolute pleasure taking you along this journey to achieving better digital portraits. For the final chapter of this course, let's take a quick recap of everything we've learned thus far. Creating digital portraits is an incredible process that pushes you to strengthen your foundation. In this course, we learned the importance of starting with a solid base while allowing Photoshop's tools to assist you in creating two spectacular portraits. In chapter two, you learned how to create your own custom brushes, and the simple ways you can set up your reference photos to help you achieve better likeness. Make sure to keep these brushes in your painting arsenal, so you'll always have great brushes to turn to. Our first portrait in chapter three took us on a colorful journey, while our second portrait in chapter four, explored the drama created by intense lighting and texture. Whether you prefer to paint in grayscale or color, it was important for me to show you that you can achieve both paintings using very similar techniques. In fact, from the very beginning, we were able to use either the same concepts or tools to create our portrait basis, refine both their details, and even correct simple mistakes. And speaking of mistakes, never be afraid to make one. We often hold out on creating new art because of the fear that our art will somehow come out bad, but I hope with this course that you're now able to see that painting is an incredibly thoughtful process. You can make plenty of mistakes while allowing the tools and resources available to you in Photoshop to swiftly correct any blunder. After all, the mark of an improved artist is not in achieving perfection every time, but recognizing your mistakes while knowing the simple steps it takes to fix them. I certainly hope you've enjoyed trekking through this course with me. Remember to always take your time. And stop often to review your work, and truly internalize your progress.
