Take a virtual journey to the bustling streets of New York in Bert Monroy: The Making of Times Square. Digital painter Bert Monroy reveals how he created the minute details that build the impressive 108,000 x 21,600 pixel, 25-foot wide photorealistic portrait of this iconic intersection.

In this installment, The People, Bert illustrates how he created the hyperrealistic portrayals of the dozens of people inhabiting his painting, many of which he drew from real-life friends and family. The course shows how to construct eyes, lips, ears, and other facial features, paint natural looking skin, add hair, apply makeup, and create fabric folds, stitching, and texture to emulate clothing. Bert shows how digital artists can recreate these effects at home, using the tools in Photoshop and Illustrator and a little imagination.

Topics include:
* Creating life-like facial features, such as noses, teeth, lips
* Understanding the structure of the mouth
* Creating facial contours
* Adding details such as fingernails
* Using a Cintiq to create realistic hair
* Creating beard stubble
* Creating the look of stitched denim
