Color Portrait by Apple Pencil & Procreate

Original human portrait is a weakness I still have trouble with. Now with iPad + Apple Pencil + Procreate, it's much easier to do trial and error. I don't have to go sit on my desk and set up my Wacom tablet every time I want to do a little sketching.

After some failed attempts, I ended up painting a 3/4 view of a face. I still tend to draw (young) female faces in Manga style. Next time I should definitely try something different.

Basically the steps are the same as how I did the few paintings in Corel Painter, with one layer for lines, one for basic color, one for shadow, and one for light.

And here's the time lapse video (edited with iMovie). Somehow most of the rough sketch strokes are lost in the video. Sorry about the length, I do too much back-and-forth and minute adjustments.
