Have Questions? George Has Answers!
One of the benefits of watching a course on BTC University? Artists are able to answer your questions in REAL TIME! Here are some technical questions viewers had for George during his livestream:
Question: Is this technique only for bright clients or can this be done on someone that is starting with a Level 5?
Answer: “I definitely think you can do this on darker clients,” George explains, “Just be realistic with the client about the the tones they can expect.” In other words, don’t make promises that are unrealistic. “A Level 5 client shouldn’t have Level 10 highlights, that will look harsh and streaky,” explains George. “So take time to talk to your client about what they are able to achieve.”
Q. Since this technique doesn’t require a toner, what are your tips for creating a blended, diffused transition area without a root smudge?
A. “For me, its all about artistry,” George explains. “That area should really be feathered and soft. You want to remember to be gentle when freehand painting that area and gradually get heavier with the application as you move to the mids and ends.”
