I am a person who doesn't really like to draw for others or for contests, I really like to use art to express myself and do things to my liking as well as choosing the color palette, but this time I wanted to give myself this challenge, I wanted to participate to not be left out and get out of my comfort zone a little, I'm not going to lie to you this is not one of my favorite drawings, in fact I feel like I hate it, I mentally blocked myself many times, I got very frustrated between so many problems and between so many colors that I don't like, but I really wanted to do it, I wanted to finish what I started, this contest is active on Twitter until July 21 of this year, it is made by a great collector "BenjaminBitcoin" the rules of this contest was to use color olive green, cheetah, red and black details, do it your style or however you like, and that it was inspired by your profile picture.This time I wanted to make a kind of "glamorous" girl with animal print details on her clothes using Cheetah spots, taking inspiration from her profile picture using accessories like her glasses and adding a necklace with the Bitcoin symbol as well as her name user on twitter, I will give you more details of the process for this work below:
I made this sketch days in advance before starting to paint, I was making different sketches but I stayed with this one since I liked the sexy touch it provided, I chose a fairly normal skin tone color palette, I really didn't want to play with too many colors and risking that they would not combine well with the olive green that I was going to place in the background, I began to shape her face, specifically her eyes first, to continue later with the rest of her face and body, softening and blending the colors.
For her hair I chose a reddish brown tone, this color has always seemed cute to me combined with green and also because it would combine with the cheetah print, I used two brushes to create lights and shadows on her hair, this would be a diffuse brush and the other a special brush to make hair, for her clothes I chose a black tone and on her animal print top a cream color, on her arm I placed a kind of tattoo with BejaminBitcoin's profile picture and I also began to paint the chain, using a tone base copper.
Time to give more color to the necklace, applying gold and white tones, also paint her heart lenses with red and some highlights using a lighter red and white, finally apply the last adjustments, shadows, highlights, etc and thought I'd add a background with stars, in fact I kept it but finally I discarded this idea because I didn't like it at all, so I just left the background with the olive green color and a gradient.
I really participated without the intention of winning, much less, this was more than anything a test for myself and also learning to work on different things when it is worth it, this experience may help me to encourage myself in future contests or challenges, but honestly I am a little discouraged Something that I really liked was her face, so I'll leave you a close up of her face.
