NOVEMBER CHALLENGE 🖤
Bonjour my little demon, ready to collect gem #04?
Whether you just joined or have been here from the beginning, thank you so much for reading.
TODAY’S GEM
Here’s an advanced tip: hard and soft edges are what bring a portrait to life.
Use sharp edges to highlight areas of focus (like the eyes) and soft edges to create depth and atmosphere (like the contour of the hair or clothes)
Mastering this balance will give your portraits a professional touch.
👉 For soft edges: blend with a stump, soft brush, or tissue.
👉 For hard edges: use a sharp pencil, a pencil eraser, or a cut eraser with a pointed edge.
Control your edges, and you control the viewer’s attention.
Voilà, that’s all for me.
What portrait topic would you like me to cover next?
Bisous,
Léa
