Chimpanzee Portrait - Acrylic

In this 4.5 hour tutorial I will guide you through painting a chimpanzee portrait, focusing on expression, skin and fur so it actually feels alive and not overworked. We will build it up step by step and keep the process controlled the whole way through.

We will focus on:

• Building tone and understanding value
• Painting skin texture and soft transitions
• Creating patchy fur over skin
• Capturing strong, human-like expression
• Suggesting detail without overworking
• Layering to create depth and realism

A focused study on building believable skin, fur and expression without overworking it.
