Good evening, everyone. Today I wanted to draw, and although I didn't have a clear idea at first and this drawing underwent quite a few changes, I managed to finish it. But then I realized that the face looked familiar and reminded me a lot of a young Selena Gomez, ha ha ha. And believe me, I'm not a fan of Selena, so realizing this was a little humiliating for me. I'm not saying she's identical, but she does look quite similar, ha ha ha.
Proceso/Process
My main idea was different, but honestly, it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, so I ended up taking a different direction later on. For now, I'll tell you that I made the sketch and started working with grayscale, adding lights, shadows, and improving each layer by blending the tones to create a more realistic skin tone. Then I painted the dress. For this, I didn't really use many colors, just a dark gray and a slight shadow with black to give volume to the breast area.
I imagined my drawing in grayscale with a touch of color that would stand out and be the focal point. I tried it, but it didn't look right, so I decided to put this touch of color in the background. I liked it a lot, but I didn't like how the gray tones looked combined with the background, so I decided to give my character a dark/bluish tone. This way, it was more pleasing to the eye. I also painted the hair, and to be honest, I forgot to paint the highlights that usually give it shape and volume. Even so, I think that oversight was a good thing because the hair looks pretty good despite everything. I finished by adding highlights to areas of the face that I wanted to emphasize.
