Hello again dear community, I hope you are very well, for my part I am fine and with many ideas in mind, today I present one of them, a portrait that I wanted to draw in the sea, with a deep look and almost sepia tones.
I wanted to try this tonality because I have always found it quite beautiful and curious, I feel that it adds a touch of drama, for the texture as you will see, I wanted to use very scruffy brushes so as not to make perfect lines, it is a technique that helps me a lot to let go more hand and stop worrying about being a perfectionist, sometimes we just need things to have a shape and not so much detail, I hope you like it.
Proceso/Process
I made my sketch and I chose the colors to start, this time I painted on the canvas with a dark beige tone to guide me better with the tones that I would use, first I painted the face adding different opaque skin tones, without giving much detail, then I painted the background with a dark green tone that would be the water and a light olive green to make the sky, I began to detail the face little by little, giving shape to each part, at first I would do long hair but I decided that short hair would look better, so I painted the hair with a brown tone, stylize the face completely and continue with the torso, then paint the water that covers part of the body.
With a dull beige tone I started to paint over the base color of the hair, adding some pink tones as well, I started to detail the water by adding some highlights and shadows to create this turbulent sea, in the background I painted some distant figures.
Paint the eyebrows, eyelashes and detail the eyes a little more.
Now as always, I started to add some points of light that I always love to do this in all my illustrations, this time I painted some small drops on the skin and the sea, I added more shine in the eyes, nose and cheekbones.
I continued adding more depth to the eyes and creating a reddish shadow that covers under the eye, finally I applied a saturation and contrast adjustment and the drawing was ready.
