Love is felt throughout the body, as if something created a hole in your chest that only one person fills, it grows inside you and you can feel it in your veins, love is magic and pain.
El amor se siente en todo el cuerpo, como si algo creara un hueco en tu pecho que solo una persona llena, crece dentro de ti y puedes sentirlo en tus venas, el amor es magia y dolor.
Hi friends!
This month of March has been very productive for me and I started to draw many things again and I feel very proud of each creation because I have put a lot of love into each one of them, Love & Pain has been the first piece to sell in makersplace this platform is where I wanted to be for a long time and being able to sell there in the short time I've been there is a very significant achievement, this specific work seeks to convey different stages of love, represented in my own way, love, pain, growth.
I hope to continue with this enthusiasm for drawing for a long time, although sometimes I have some emotional downfalls that make me not want to do anything at all, I am trying to put that aside so that I can always share a part of myself with you, a part of my art.
Proceso/Process
The idea and concept of my art was clear from the beginning and even though I'm not very good at painting hands, I wanted it to be that way and it turned out really well. In fact, hands are starting to be less of a problem for me.
I started by making a rather ugly sketch hahaha but I decided to paint and modify while I was painting, I added the base colors that I needed in each part and I refined them in new layers, giving more details with a diffuse brush and varying opacity and size, help me with other brushes to make other details such as the freckles that I drew on her torso, it's a brush that basically has that effect, I added a little blur so that these freckles didn't look so "hard" obviously what took me the longest to paint was the hands, it took hours on that but they were looking pretty good.
By the way, I added a background color that looks like a kind of desaturated pastel blue, I liked this color a lot, I thought it looked good, yes, I ended up loving it after trying several shades.
I began to draw a kind of relief on her veins, so that it would give the effect that the small branches and flowers came out inside her, to achieve this simply use tones that she had previously added to her skin, look for the darkest tone and the lighter and I began to paint this effect giving more darkness to the edges and more light in the center, I drew the branches and a red rose, I was thinking of painting a rose in a more pastel color but since we are talking about love, nothing more representative than a Red rose.
Finally I gave final touches and an unexpected detail that was not in the sketch, but I loved how it looked, I decided to draw a heart, or at least a heart-shaped hole, showing that it is empty, here perhaps what the love left in her, or perhaps that no one has yet filled that void.
Continue to give the drawing texture and a weathered look and a slightly warmer color setting.
I hope you liked this portrait of emotions, I liked it a lot, I'll see you in a next post, take care.
