Greetings community, today I wanted to do something for Halloween in addition to trying a somewhat different style, I was inspired by seeing some of Junji Ito's manga drawings to create this art that I present to you today and although this drawing at first would be in color, I wanted to try doing it with grayscale and give it a different look from the one I usually use in my drawings, I really enjoyed doing it although it was quite complicated for me because of the colors I chose to apply this time, but I feel like I achieved that terrifying and weird style that I was looking for so much, I would like to continue practicing drawings like this to handle this style even better in the future, I hope you like it.
Proceso/Process
I started my sketch and in it, I drew a hair with a lot of movement, I wanted it to look as if her hair is floating but the truth is that it turned out very ugly, I felt that it did not fit well, so during the painting process I decided to leave the hair downwards, i started painting using a skin tone color palette, but i decided later i wanted to try something new that's when i decided to erase everything i had done and start painting in grayscale, mix different shades of gray to create her skin and shape every part of her torso and face.
I was thinking whether to draw some black or white eyes and finally I decided to do it in black since I felt that it gave a more sinister touch, I painted several eyes on her body and I shaped them using shadows and lights, I paint the hair and added a black background for highlight some details later.
For these eyes on her body paint some long and thick eyelashes, also paint some lines that simulate a connection between all the eyes from the black tears, lighten her skin a bit to make it look paler and add depth in some parts, finally paint the background which would also be black and white using lots of white lines behind her.
I hope you liked it, the truth is that I found it quite interesting to try this type of painting and I feel that it would not have turned out well in color, I really do not know, this Halloween theme is quite good to take advantage of and bring out our dark side.
