Hello friends.
I just finished this drawing and I wanted to share it with you, this time I wanted to make a dark portrait in black and white, I really want to make some drawings with a style and black and white that is not so realistic but it's still hard for me, I would like to try to make something that is more horror manga style, today I was inspired by those horror manga to create this character which had some changes in the process, I thought it would be interesting to make some cat eyes instead of common eyes, finally I didn't like it at all and decided to make them completely black adding a third eye in the forehead which would be in a more normal and realistic way, I also wanted to work this time with a completely white background for a change because I always use dark backgrounds.
I started with the sketch, as I mentioned I wanted to make some cat eyes, in the sketch they looked cute haha, I started painting using grayscale with quite light grays, in a new layer I added more shades of gray including some darker ones to give shadows, I painted the eyes and that's when I realized that I didn't like how it looked, so I opted for completely black eyes, besides that would give a more intimidating touch to the face, I painted the clothes with a light color and the hair with a dark one.
I mixed all the shades creating a soft skin and then I took care of the third eye which I painted quite normal and somewhat realistic, then I painted the cracks around the eye to give that impression that it is coming out of the forehead, for the hair I added light gray highlights to give it more shape, I continued changing the color of the shirt to a darker one so it didn't get confused so much with the background, now I added small points of light in the eyes to give it more life and realism, I saw everything very bright and clear and I didn't like the contrast with the background so I darkened the layer of the portrait giving it that darkness and depth that would make the difference between the background and the face, finally I highlighted some parts of the face with small points of lighting.

Me hizo recordar un poco a una historia que leí hace años de "niños con los ojos negros" y me dio algo de repelús lo bien que quedo por tu estilo hiperrealista, me gusto mucho este dibujo
