Hello community!
Today I wanted to paint, but this time something realistic, or at least semi-realistic at the same time to capture a bit of how I feel, normally when I have a lousy mood I feel the need to express myself through my drawings and want to do many details that give a touch of realism to my works, that's why today I made this portrait quite close where I could detail the texture of the skin and the eyes much better, lately I really like to work portraits that handle this kind of shadow where only a reflection of light make certain parts of the face stand out, I hope you like it as much as I do.
Proceso/Process
After doing the sketch, I started to apply the base tones on her face, I added a lot of pink, beige and brown tones, I wanted a portrait with these colors that would give a more reddish appearance to the face as if she was crying.
The eyes would be green with a bit of light blue and a very faint desaturated yellow, in a new layer I began to mix the tones creating an increasingly softer skin, detail her eyes and nose and then continue painting the eyebrows, for this I used a hair texture brush.
Once the face and neck were ready, I started to paint her hair with a black color and creating a different cut than the one I had placed in the original sketch, I painted some highlights on her hair and then detailed some parts of the hair a bit more. face like the lips, eyes and nose, in a new layer I handled the glitter of the face a bit and painted a tear, then it occurred to me to do this kind of makeup on his eye, it was something that I experimented to give a different touch to the drawing and I ended up liking it a lot so I left it, finally I applied some color and brightness adjustments and then placed a shadow layer over the entire drawing and erasing the parts that I wanted to highlight from the face.
