I learnt everything from you in 2020. I was doing this exact thing back then, making Renaissance portraits for pets and people. It kickstarted my career as a graphic designer.
Today I am an illustrator, and the world has changed and AI is making our lives hell. But the happiness I found then and now just by learning from you and creating artworks that brought joy to so many people around the world, is that satisfaction is everything. And it wins over anything AI and people who depend on AI can ever find.

Just excellent job! No AI, no plugins, no third-party software only curves and masks only hardcore, Thanks Unmesh 😉

After all these years you never fail to amaze me.

I can imagine Rembrandt would enjoy watching you work! Such an inspiration.

[GranMaese]

Unmesh proving yet once more why he is the Photoshop hero we need, but don't deserve.

[aisharyabanerjee]

In all the history of Photoshop, I don't think there was or will be anyone like this guy. His expertise and presentation are both amazing.

[cafesito]

Even though i use Affinity Photos i watch your tutorial for years already and they applicable there as well. thank you for being a fantastic presenter making things understandable and easy to follow.

It never ceases to amaze me how great of an educator you are. You anticipate questions and issues people might experience, and you still leave time to explore smaller aspects of color grading even if they're not a major part of the edit. Simply incredible work, I'm always so impressed and learn a lot.

Actually today is my 1st day of photoshop learning sir. I found your channel it's a god grace. Thank you for providing this video

[steevo]

Thanks Unmesh. It’s the double clicking in the curves adjustment to load values and then putting them into other areas that is ace. Thanks for the reminder.👍

[Access-Inner-Harmony]

Great video! I've learned from you a lot within those past few years! So now it's time for me to teach you one thing in return... it's not a renaissance painting. Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Rafael Santi and Michelangelo Buonarotti - the big four of renaissance stream. They all used vibrant colors and the portraits would always feel very formal, trying to mimic ancient Greece and idealized.

Now baroque, on the other hand could be divided into two streams: classical baroque (very formal, trying to mimic ancient Greece but more successful at catching human-likeness than renaissance in my opinion) and Caravaggisti (strong lights and shadows, usually warm and earthly tones, heavily influenced by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio). Baroques well known artists are Caravaggio, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Johannes Vermeer, Diego Velázquez and Jacques-Louis David. This style also features oil paints an oh dear, would you look at all those dynamic poses!

[AlainFALLUEL]

As usual it's very interesting, well explained, and very useful to know how it's done and why ! Thank you for all I learn with you.

[mayastep]

Absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you, Sir. Rembrandt would have been proud.
