Greetings friends, today was one of those days in which you want to be a perfectionist and do something different and full of details, that's why today I wanted to do a little more doing this portrait that I really loved, this time I wanted to represent several things in a single drawing, a tormented soul, a reference to the “real” form of angels embodied in wings with eyes, a soul that seeks to be saved despite the dark marks that expand on the chest.
Something that I loved was the hands, especially how I managed to handle the color of the blood and the shape they have, the truth is that it was quite a complicated job but I enjoyed it a lot, I hope you like it.
Proceso/Process
I made my sketch with several ideas in mind, after having what I wanted ready, I chose a palette of skin tones to start filling in the body, in a new layer I added many more tones to give it more realism and gradually blur each part of the body and face, then work on the chest, to continue then with the hands, applying the base colors.
After softening all the skin, including the hand, it was time to paint other details, for the chest I wanted to make a figure similar to the structure of a wing, I wanted it to be a red tone to simulate a mark on the skin, I painted some more drops of blood on the hands and I began to apply a brown base tone to the hair, with a darker brown and a lighter one, I made highlights to give more life and movement to the hair, I used an almost gray blue to paint the base of the wing and a dark blue for clothing.
I painted the folds of the clothes and then I began to give details to the wing with some shadows and lights, I began to paint the eye of the wing, I made this eye with different shades, including red, pink, orange, green, yellow, all this to give it much more realism, I changed the background to a dark brown and began to paint with lighter brown tones, giving brushstrokes with the oil texture brush.
It occurred to me to paint an accessory so I made small dots forming a kind of chain that surrounds the head, I began to apply highlights both on the face and the other accessories, finally I applied a slight color adjustment to improve the image a bit.
