Hello people I hope you are very well, this time I want to share with you my last portrait one for which I wanted to use the style that I like the most where blood can never be missing lol, I really liked it because I feel that it expresses many things, both the look and the whole gesture of the face, I wanted to make very strong strokes for this drawing and the hair I made it quite unruly and messy, something that I do not usually apply much in my drawings because I really find it difficult to paint wavy hair, but I really liked the result.
Proceso/Process
I started the sketch and chose the tones to use, a palette of skin color, normally I usually paint only the face with base tones but this time I applied a technique I used when I started painting portraits in digital, it is to deposit the base tones of the whole drawing in a single layer using a diffuse brush, mark the lights and shadows and so the drawing as it progresses looks more natural when making transitions of lights and shadows, working these tones together in a single layer is sometimes confusing but it is very good to place the lights and shadows and create some realism, now if we create a new layer where I started to place more tones to give shape to the face and started to blur them, to mix these tones I used a textured brush because I wanted a very strong and well marked strokes.
Continue giving shape to the face, I decided to paint the eyes with a yellow tone since I don't usually experiment with "fantasy" colors in the eyes, yellow is a very powerful color and it seemed to me very adequate to the expression of the drawing because it adds more rudeness and that wild aspect, for the hair I used different tonalities creating a very interesting contrast between strands, normally I use a hair brush this time to give it more realism I helped myself with this same brush but I also used a diffuse brush and I began to draw each hair, varying opacity, tone and size, I painted blood coming out of the nose and going through the mouth until finally falling down the chin, I still needed to add lights to the face to give it even more life, so creating a new layer with "screen" blending mode I made some points of light, I decided to place something additional and I came up with these black wings coming out of the hair, for the final touch I made a fairly slight image adjustment, really just to highlight some strokes but I did not alter the color of the image this time because I liked the way it looked.
