Weeping soul

[alexa.art]

Buenas noches a todos. Es difícil no poder dibujar a menudo, a veces siento que pierdo un poco las habilidades por no practicar tan seguido, es bastante complicado no tener tiempo para hacer lo que mas te gusta, además he tenido algunos días difíciles que estamos superando poco a poco, hoy quise expresarme un poco con mi arte aprovechando que es fin de semana y estoy un poco mas relajada, no tengo mucho que decir de este retrato, creo que habla por si solo, a veces me siento asi pero no he tenido tiempo para desahogarme, utilizo el arte precisamente para estos sentimientos reprimidos, en fin, espero que les guste.

Good evening everyone.
It is difficult not to be able to draw often, sometimes I feel that I lose a little the skills for not practicing so often, it is quite complicated not to have time to do what you like, besides I have had some difficult days that we are overcoming little by little, today I wanted to express myself a little with my art taking advantage that it is weekend and I am a little more relaxed, I do not have much to say about this portrait, I think it speaks for itself, sometimes I feel this way but I have not had time to unburden myself, I use the art precisely for these repressed feelings, in short, I hope you like it.

Proceso/Process

Realice el boceto y empecé a pintar la piel usando tonos cálidos pero desaturados, agregue sombras con marrones claros y algunos rojizos, en una nueva capa añadí mas colores para darle forma a todo el rostro y luego comencé a mezclar todos los colores dejando la piel suave, pero manteniendo textura, esta vez buscaba darle ese efecto de oleo que tanto me gusta.

I made the sketch and started to paint the skin using warm but desaturated tones, I added shadows with light browns and some reddish, in a new layer I added more colors to give shape to the whole face and then I started to mix all the colors leaving the skin soft but keeping texture, this time I wanted to give it that oil effect that I like so much.

Después empecé a pintar las cejas y pestañas y agregue un fondo marrón oscuro, para el cabello use un tono rojizo oscuro y agregue iluminaciones con un tono mas claro, quise intensificar los colores rojizos del rostro en la boca, mejillas y la zona debajo de los ojos, añadí iluminaciones para resaltar algunas partes del rostro y después pase a editar la imagen, en esta oportunidad quise editar usando la herramienta de curva estuve ajustando hasta dejar la imagen con la iluminación que más me gusto, algo que me gusto bastante fue resaltar las iluminaciones con un tono verde.

Then I started to paint the eyebrows and eyelashes and added a dark brown background, for the hair I used a dark reddish tone and added highlights with a lighter tone, I wanted to intensify the reddish colors of the face in the mouth, cheeks and the area under the eyes, I added highlights to highlight some parts of the face and then I edited the image, this time I wanted to edit using the curve tool I was adjusting until I left the image with the lighting that I liked, something that I liked was to highlight the highlights with a green tone.

Altamente expresivo tu dibujo, @alexa.art. El sentimiento de dolor o melancolía está perfectamente manifiesto en ese rostro, gracias a lo logrado de sus rasgos (ojos, labios). Saludos.

Es demasiado bueno, hay mucho sentimiento en tu ilustración y se puede interpretar de varias formas con el sentimiento que conlleva.
