Hello. I am deeply appreciative of all the
talent here and the sharing of knowledge
using XaraX. And I thank everyone for their
sharings, tutorials, etc.

I would like to see some photo-realism
tutorials , especially those aimed at mimicking
faces/portaiture.

My request for realism geared at people
instead of just objects is that such portrayals
are more involved, harder to achieve. My
reason for this request is not to see how
to exactly "clone" a picture, but to learn other's techniques and processes. I know
this will involve the use of blends,
transparencies, and so on, but I'd like to
move beyond basics, into learning how
others do utilize the tools before them.


I am aware that in times past there have
been a few tutorials on this, but I am eager
to see what present day inputs folks will
share here. So, if you "shine" in this area
of achieving realism with folks, or just have
some ideas along these lines, please do share
here. I, along with many others, I'm sure,
would greatly benefit from your inspiration,
skill and direction.

Thank you.

Ken
