Digital Painting Fundamentals - Stylize Portraits Like a Pro

Ben Eblen demos how he creates stylized portraits by thinking in 2D and 3D, exaggerating features, and using reference for structure and not accuracy. He breaks down faces into simple shapes, refines through layering, and emphasizes play over perfection. Tons of tips here on eye direction, hair shapes, and line texture.
