Hello community, today I come to share a black and white drawing that I really liked, the truth was quite simple, but I tried to give many details to make it look realistic, usually when I make this kind of drawings in black and white, I try to predominate the dark tones, but this time I wanted to try the opposite and give a different touch of light, use a white background and work with grayscale quite clear.
In this drawing I wanted to express a little bit how I feel sometimes, I really liked the idea of making it as if it was fading at the end of the hair, I feel that it represents many things that make me feel like that, invisible, as if I was fading.
These feelings maybe are not like that, but I perceive it sometimes, I feel a little down in many occasions and I would like to stop being like that, but it is very difficult, at least I have the art that helps me to comfort me a little and to express all these things that I feel, I hope you like it.
I started with a simple sketch, this time I wanted something in profile and although it's hard sometimes I feel that it looks good, although I would say that the mouth looks a little strange, I don't know.
I started to apply the grayscale, using light grays and others a little bit darker, in a new layer I added more details forming the whole face, then I started to mix these tones until I had a skin that looked soft.
I wanted to paint a kind of makeup since it is something that represents me, so I just did simple things, placing a dark gray under the eye in the shape of an inverted triangle and a half moon on the forehead, I placed a dark gray as a base for the hair and then added lights and shadows to give it movement, for this point it occurred to me to give some brushstrokes on the edge of the hair to give that effect of "fading" I made brush strokes from the inside out and from the outside in, creating this beautiful effect, I loved this drawing as it was without so many details and also as it was in black and white, this time I didn't need to make any color adjustment or editing, it was ready!
