Heterochromia Portrait

This digital portrait study centers on the face of a young girl, with a strong emphasis on the striking contrast of her heterochromia—one eye a vibrant blue, the other a warm amber. The piece explores facial structure, skin tones, and lighting, using soft brushwork and controlled color transitions to bring a sense of realism and quiet emotion.

The composition draws attention to the eyes, making them the focal point through subtle highlights and value contrast, while the surrounding features—gentle blush, defined lips, and flowing hair—support the calm, introspective mood of the portrait.

Key aspects include:

Study of facial proportions and asymmetry

Focus on light source and shadow placement to create depth

Delicate rendering of eye texture and color variation to highlight the heterochromia

Painterly yet refined approach to skin blending and edge control

This portrait demonstrates a strong grasp of digital painting fundamentals, as well as an ability to capture character and uniqueness through subtle detail.
