This book is meant to be for the very beginner who needs the basics and the most important information about portrait painting to start on his or her own. It's written chronologically so the reader knows what to start with and which skills needs to be achieved first in order to move forward with the personal development. What inspired me to write this book was the fact that I personally wasn't able to find any literature about making portraits from A-Z when I started painting. I wanted the most essential information to get me started. I bought tons of books and I was lucky to befriend one of Denmark's most famous and skilled portrait painters. With a combination of the above and many hours of practice, it took me around 6 years to be where I am now, ready to write a book that breaks it all down to the most essential part of portrait painting. Personally it was a very steep learning curve for me due to the fact that, going through all my material, I needed to separate the most relevant pieces of information from non-essential. Nevertheless, I persevered, and today I'm proud to be able to call myself a self-taught portrait painter. I want to share my self obtained knowledge to my fellow artists out there, those who do not have time to do research, or an academy to teach them. I want you to know that it is indeed possible to obtain a satisfying level without formal training if your heart is into it.
