Hey! First of all, I want to congratulate myself for making it to Art #50! There's more to come, actually, before this year finally ends. Two months ago, LiSA (not Lisa of Blackpink) was called to endorse the makeup brand, NARS. If I am not mistaken, this was her first makeup endorsement and it's awesome that it was with NARS Cosmetics Japan. <-- Link to NARS website where you can also see the list of makeups she used during her live stream at the NARS store.
I think this collab with NARS is special and so I did a drawing based from her look during her live stream.
My goal was to cartoonize LiSA's looks just like a Disney character. I guess I was able to achieve that, a little bit. LiSA is a Japanese pop / rock / anime song singer who is best known for singing Demon Slayer songs. She's 34 years old, by the way.
Here's a screenshot from her live stream with NARS Global Artistry Director, Sada Ito.
LiSA loves experimenting hair colors and I just found her hair color for this collab gorgeous. The combination of purple pink and blue green colors was great! But what really urged me to make a drawing was due to her red lips and blue eyeliner.
I want LiSA to look fierce but still with a sweet touch and so I made her look on the side. I also made the lips a bit larger so she looks more like a doll.
I was trying to make a messy brush art for this piece but most colors still looked blended. Here's a close up photo to better see the details.
By the way, the overall color of my LiSA drawing looked too pail and so I opened Photoshop and played with the colors. I came up with two edited colors that I love. The one at the middle was the original. Of course, my favorite among these three was the one on the left. The colors with the one on the right was popping. It looked fun but the details of the colors were unnoticeable.
Of course, since it's another LiSA drawing, I make sure to enjoy the process of making it. I used a couple of blending modes for her lips, eye shadow, and shine on her skin. The shine on her nose was too much, in my opinion, maybe I should've lowered the opacity of it to lessen the intense highlight.
Like I've said, I was aiming for messy brush effect, and so that's what I also did for the background. I'm just not sure if it looked good.
Anyway, here's the timelapse. You'll see how much I tried to change the wideness of LiSA's face.
