Does painting find detailed figures like this make you nervous? Well in today's video I'm going to show you a simple top tip that's going to make paintings just like this a lot easier, carrying up. Hey again there guys, Emma here from Painting Pino, giving you some top tips for all things art and design and in today's video I'm going to show you a really simple top tip that's going to make painting figures so much easier. A lot of people have aged traditional when it comes to paintings and think that you should just be painting from scratch but today I'm going to show you that actually is that cheating? Nah, not in my opinion. I've actually produced this as the original drawing anyway but there's nothing stopping you from going and getting a photocopy of an image and then actually just doing what I've done here so I've just basically laminated it and then I've just cut the actual silhouette out so I've got myself a nice template for being able to do this painting. So in the video I'm going to show you today guys I'm going to show you how this technique can really help get the accuracy but of course we've still got to do some of those fine detail features and the trick is all about minimalism if you don't go over the top if you just give a suggestion of where eyes are, a suggestion of where the mouth is, it's going to make it look unorthodox, more effective. So let's see how we do this in today's step by step guide. Here we go. So there you have it guys, hope you enjoyed today's video of how to produce a painting like this where you've got a really detailed but also quite a complicated figure but just using a simple silhouette it's going to help you produce this a lot easier.
