In today's video I will explain the differences in the features between children and adults. We will look at children age 2, 6, and 12 years old and compare them to an adult age 25.

I will explain the nuances of painting a child's portrait and some mistakes to avoid. This comes from my own experience after painting several commissioned portraits of children.

I will show you how I took my original reference photo image and improved upon it in Photoshop. You can follow along with the same reference image from www.pexels.com here's a link to the picture I used. Photo by Thgusstavo Santana from Pexels
