Hello people, today I present to you Jack, the second NFT of the dragon portrait collection, minted on Pixeos art gallery.
This friend originated as an exercise in expression, I wanted to achieve absolute joy, however, it ended up resulting in something similar to mischief, it was not what I wanted, But it wasn't bad either.
Hola gente, hoy les presento a Jack, el segundo NFT de la colecci贸n de cabezas de dragones, disponible en la galer铆a de arte de Pixeos.
Este amigo se origin贸 como un ejercicio de expresi贸n quer铆a lograr absoluta alegr铆a, sin embargo, termin贸 resultando en algo similar a la picard铆a, no era lo que quer铆a, pero tampoco est谩 mal.
I started by doing the pencil sketch and scanned it.
Empec茅 haciendo el boceto a l谩piz y lo escane茅.
I made the lines with the linework layer, and I made some pertinent changes.
Hice las l铆neas con la capa de linework, e hice otros cambios pertinentes.
I chose the base colors and well, this is where I spent months looking at the file in a colorful version of the fear of the white canvas.
Eleg铆 los colores base y bueno, aqu铆 es donde me qued茅 meses viendo el archivo en una versi贸n mas colorida del miedo a la hoja blanca.
The first shadows were the most difficult part of this drawing, I had a very vague idea of how I wanted to do them, but every time I did something it looked so " wrong" that I undo it, that's why at the beginning I made some quite light attempts, it was after making those attempts with a watercolor texture that I finally could get out of this blockade.
Las primeras sombras fueron lo m谩s dif铆cil de este dibujo, ten铆a una idea muy vaga de como quer铆a hacerlas, pero cada vez que hac铆a algo se ve铆a tan "mal" que lo deshac铆a, por eso al principio hice unos intentos bastante leves, fue despu茅s de hacer esas sombras y con una textura de acuarela que finalmente pude salir de este bloqueo.
With shadows defined adding the lights was easy, then I finished the eye with all its details, I don't usually paint with the eye layer visible, I get distracted whenever I see it unfinished, but in this case it helped me not to get lost when making the shadows, I will see if I repeat this pattern or if it is better to add it at the end.
Con las sombras definidas agregar las luces fue sencillo, luego termin茅 el ojo con todos sus detalles, no suelo pintar con la capa del ojo visible, me distraigo siempre que lo veo inconcluso, pero en este caso me ayud贸 a no perderme a la hora de hacer las sombras, ver茅 si repito este patr贸n o si me resulta mejor agregarlo al final.
For the background I used my usual method, but instead of using a monochromatic composition of colors, I wanted to use neighboring colors, and of course I went for sure, light purple, light greenish blue and dark purple is a combination that never fails.
As you can see I originally thought of another distribution of colors and even thought of putting a canvas texture on it, but then I left it normal because the whole dragon had been painted without that texture.
Para el fondo us茅 el m茅todo habitual, pero en vez de usar una composici贸n monocrom谩tica, quise usar colores vecinos, y por supuesto me fui por lo seguro, morado claro, azul verdoso claro y morado oscuro es una combinaci贸n que nunca falla.
Pueden ver que originalmente pens茅 en otra distribuci贸n de colores e incluso pens茅 en ponerle una textura de lienzo, pero luego lo dej茅 normal porque todo el drag贸n lo hab铆a pintado sin esa textura.
With the background done, I only had to add Jack, at this point the light reflection of his eye was too intense to match the aesthetics so I lowered the opacity and that was it.
Con el fondo hecho solo falt贸 agregar a Jack, en este punto el brillo de su ojo era demasiado intenso como para pegar con la est茅tica as铆 que le baj茅 opacidad y listo.
The result left me satisfied, Jack is one of the drawings that I most wanted to digitize, from the moment I finished his black and white smile I was excited to think how it would be colored, originally I wanted it to be fiery red, although it would end up being a malicious version of what it is now Aj铆.
In the end I decided on yellow skin, red crest and a huge green eye, its background was going to be a degraded purple following the pattern I used for Spike, however, Jack, as the mischievous rogue he is, just asked for more and more colors, I hope I don't have another dragon so demanding in its coloring in the short term... but knowing me, most likely for the next one I will have to use the whole rainbow.馃槩
El resultado me dej贸 satisfecha, Jack es uno de los dibujos que m谩s quer铆a digitalizar, desde el momento en que termin茅 su sonrisa en blanco y negro me emocionaba pensar como iba a ser coloreado, originalmente quer铆a que fuera rojo ardiente, aunque terminar铆a siendo una versi贸n maliciosa de lo que es ahora Aj铆.
Al final me decid铆 por el amarillo, la cresta roja y un enorme ojo verde, su fondo iba a ser un morado degradado siguiendo el patr贸n que us茅 para Spike, sin embargo, Jack, como el p铆caro brib贸n que es, solo pidi贸 m谩s y m谩s colores, espero no tener otro drag贸n tan exigente en su colorido a corto plazo... pero conoci茅ndome,lo mas probable es que para el pr贸ximo tenga que usar todo el arcoiris.馃槩
