5 Steps to Photorealism with a Koala Eye

Lets talk about tackling that super detailed section of your painting!
In this video I'm going to go over the 5 easy steps I follow to achieve photorealistic details in my paintings, with a painting I did of a Koala Mother and Baby as an example.

This video comes from a question I got from one of my student, and next week we'll be looking at another question; How do you get unbroken straight lines?

So make sure you're subscribed if you don't want to miss that, and let me know in the comments if you have a question you want answered!
