Portrait
The reference must be sharp, with clear lighting, proportions and expression.
Realism needs a high-quality reference, enough space and a composition that works with the shape of the body.

Detail must support the main image, not compete with its clarity.
The reference must be sharp, with clear lighting, proportions and expression.
We build the composition around the main shape and recognisable details.
The scale allows room for depth, transitions and smooth connections.
A realistic design depends on the quality of the reference, size, contrast and suitable placement.
A high-quality reference helps establish the lighting, proportions and detail accurately.
The dimensions must give important features enough room.
Light and shadow keep the design clear, even on a more contoured area of the body.
We adapt the shape of the design to the movement and anatomy of the chosen placement.
