Good evening friends.
I am sick again, the change of weather between cold and heat has been strong, there are days where it is very hot and others where it is too cold, now I am writing this post with a great discomfort and that makes me a little melancholic, so last night when I started to feel bad I started this drawing, I really do not know why but whenever I get sick I remember sad things from my childhood, I have a feeling in my chest of longing for something, of wanting to go back to the past and do things differently, I feel in my soul something that makes me uneasy, this drawing helped me a lot to let off steam, I liked it too much, I used red tones for the whole portrait and even the background, a color that is related to love, passion, but that is also related to pain and danger.
I hope you like it.
I wanted a portrait since it is the best way I get to express myself, I made the sketch and from the beginning I had in mind that I wanted to use red colors, I started to apply pink and reddish colors all over the skin, putting lights and shadows in place, in a new layer I added more colors to finish giving shape to the face, I decided that this time I wanted to give a rustic finish to the skin so I started to mix the colors with a brush with a chalk texture, but I didn't exaggerate when mixing the colors, because I wanted it to have a little delicate appearance.
Then I painted the eyebrows and eyelashes, then I painted the hair with a very dark brown, then I added some light details in the hair to give it a better shape, continue adding some more red areas in the face and eyes, for the background I also used red tones, I finished the drawing making an edition where I intensified the colors and also added highlights in certain parts of the face.
