Author: In this series of four short articles, I have tried to point finger to those things which are important in portrait making. But one and the most important aspect of learning the art of drawing or painting is the presence of artistic fire within a person.
Here in this final stage, you are to rectify whatever you find not proper. You can alter some of the lining of add a patch of shading here of one more stroke there. But this is the stage that can make or break your whole portrait. It may render your entire labour till the moment a gone case. So to be extra careful here should be the mantra.
In an ordinary sense the drawing is over here. But an artist would not stop thinking ahead. However it is very important to note for an artist to know about when and where to stop drawing further.
But an artist would apply here his or her intuition. You can proceed further, guided by your intuition. Here you can think about giving more effects to the light falling on the face or shoulders or anywhere on the portrayed area. In enthusiasm, one might make the edges of face harder or the nostrils more darkish. So beware of the overworking.
It is universal rule that an artist heart would never feel satisfied with his or her work. So the artist would not declare the work as finished. But here the act of a prudent person should prevail. In some cases it would be better to frame the work immediately or deliver the same to the person who has commissioned the work.
