Beautiful digital portrait

Hello everyone, I'm happy to present my striking digital portrait. There's a lot of reds and lighting to make this model shine :).

Here's the finished piece

I started with a simple portrait.

Then I proceeded to fill in the base colors

More refining of the base colors and the painting to make it look neat

Then I added some highlights especially around the chin

In a new layer, I set the blend mode to soft glow and began to paint over certain areas I felt would look good with light

Thanks for stopping by :)
