Hello friends! Happy weekend.
I realized that I had a long time without doing one of the portraits that characterize me the most, the style that gave life to my art, where I always mix portraits with a touch of blood, this time I chose to do a portrait quite close where I could apply a lot of realism, huge eyes and lots of flashes of light. I love working on this and I would like to do it always, but I also like to vary styles, as recently I'm exploring a bit more the drawings with fantasy and extravagant colors, from time to time it feels good to go back to where you started, it's really satisfying, I hope you like it!
As I mentioned, I wanted a very close portrait so I made the sketch and started to fill the skin using an opaque purple, for the hair I applied a dark brown, I created a new layer where I started to apply more colors, making this portrait gradually come to life, I used a palette of skin colors with desaturated pink tones, for the eyes I used a very dark bluish green, creating another layer I could place more colors to finish giving the full shape to the face, adding more shadows and lights that create volumes.
I started blurring the colors on the face, mixing them together. The result was a softer skin, I started to paint some drops of blood on the face using a brick color, then a more saturated intense red, I started to shape the eyebrows, eyelashes and lips, for the hair, I added some lights and shadows, but without exaggerating, in the background I simply painted blue with some light and dark tones.
I changed the color of the hair because I thought it looked better with a more reddish tone, I added a layer with a multiply effect to give a better effect to the blood giving a darker tone, I added the lights to the face to give it more realism and finally I made a color and saturation adjustment giving the drawing a better definition.
