Good evening friends.
Today has not been an easy day because of the situation that my country is going through, however, I wanted to distract myself from all this chaos by drawing a little, because this kind of situation stresses me a lot, today the streets were very lonely and I felt a very overwhelming silence and that had me a little unfocused, this drawing for me would be a little easy to finish but with all the tension it took a lot of time, basically I was from morning to night in this portrait, well, in spite of everything I liked it a lot, I decided to use very warm tones and a red background, I almost never use this background color because I feel that it doesn't look good most of the times but in this opportunity I feel that it was perfect, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and chose the colors, this time I used very warm skin tones between pinks, oranges, beige and browns, in a new layer I added more colors to finish forming the whole face and then I started to mix them leaving a softer texture, this time I wanted a wine color lips, very dark, it is a color that I love, I painted the hair and finished shaping the fingers, then I started to paint eyebrows and eyelashes, for this point I thought to draw a kind of crack in a light tone.
To give a better effect to this crack in the face, I added shadows and lights in the corners to create volume, I wanted to draw golden lines inside this crack simulating that texture of porcelain ornaments, I darkened a little more the eyes and then I added an intense red background, I started to highlight with lights the nose, eyes and also the golden part of the cracks, I also gave a more blue tonality to the eyes, I finished editing the image giving it more depth and contrast.
