We are now lucky enough to enter the creative process through YouTube by Elena Sai to learn about the way this artist works. An excellent opportunity for those self-taught who are looking for a way to evolve in their technique and learn from other artists who do not hide their way of recreating spectacular faces like those painted by Sai.
Sai is a artist based in Ukraine that delights us by one of his greatest passions: you paint female faces with a touch of darkness. Dark especially in the image that we have at the top where a cute bird has passed away as we can imagine by the blood that comes out of its mouth.
With a excellent technique in digital painting, Sai takes us before the first foreshortenings that he gives in his Photoshop so that we can learn how in those first slightly meaningless strokes, he is shaping the end of his work of art.
Is where then enter the zoom to go to the details and smooth out shadows and reflections with a very subtle touch and well-selected virtual brushes. This aspect is quite important, since it will allow us to feel the work more closely, almost as if we were in front of paper and charcoal.
A search towards hyperrealism for its great quality, but that it distorts a little to impregnate it with something more in line with what is illustration. It is also this very thing that her own style gives her, something vital to be able to stand out in the difficult world of art, where sometimes it seems that everything is quite easy. A lot of effort is always required.
You have his DeviantArt from this link to follow each of his works and what he tells us before a great artistic facet which he denotes in each of his digital works. Another one of those painters to follow to be dazzled by the capabilities of Photoshop and digital painting.
Don't miss out on Kura Huang and his «Doll».
