Good evening, friends. Today I wanted to try something different. For a long time, I've been tempted to do a drawing where the skin colors weren't completely blurred, just working on a layer where the colors completely shape the face without needing to define it too much. Today I wanted to put it to the test, but I also explored a Photoshop tool that I thought was pretty cool. I don't usually mess around with Photoshop tools. I'm very basic and work with what I know. I know this effect probably has more tricks to make it look even better, but I'm just learning, and honestly, I liked it, haha.
Proceso/Process
I made my sketch and began adding the colors I would work with. This time, I used cool tones and some warm tones, but nothing too striking. On another layer, I added more colors with a hard brush to give the face its full shape, then I painted the eyebrows and eyelashes.
I was exploring various Photoshop effects because I wasn't convinced about leaving it as it was, so I found this oil painting effect and tried it out. I really liked it... The texture it adds to the face is incredible, so I decided to keep it.
Finally, as always, add highlights to the eyes, lips, and nose. This gives the portrait a little more volume and realism.
