Happy weekend!
Today I want to share my last drawing which I titled "Flowers" the truth is that I love flowers but I almost never draw them, I feel that it is easier to paint flowers in a traditional way using paints than on a graphic tablet, but I would really like to implement more flowers in my drawings, especially in portraits.
I decided last night to make a sketch and I painted it all morning, I finished it during the day after resting, it was quite complicated despite being small flowers, I feel that I still need to improve the volumes to make the petals look a little flatter, but I really liked the attempt, for this portrait I wanted to make a lot of details and something that I loved a lot was how I achieved the clarity of the eyes and the light that reflects, I also wanted to use a palette of wine colors mixed with blue a combination that did not convince me much but I loved, I hope you like it.
I made my sketch this time I wanted a close up portrait where I could highlight much better the face, I started to paint the skin using dark colors filling each part with shadows and lights, in a new layer I added many more tones giving more shape and clarity to the features, I blurred these tones using a textured brush and a high opacity.
I loved the color I had chosen for the lips so I decided to paint the hair with a base color equal to that tone, I added some lights and shadows to give more realism to the hair, the clothes I wanted to be simple since it was not so important for this portrait, I only applied a black color, I added a shadow on the face that would give more realism to the flowers, I thought of painting a fuchsia eyeliner on the eye, it was just an idea that came to my mind and I wanted to do it, I used a lilac base color for the flowers and then I created a layer with clipping mask and started to fill with the tones of the flower, then I blurred the colors and applied these tones with a lot of texture, at first the flowers were lilac like the base color that I put but I was not convinced with that color there, so I made a color adjustment to the flowers making them look warmer.
For this point I decided to add some accessories that were not in the sketch so experimenting with circles and lines I made these earrings, I added a layer of glitter where I started to illuminate some parts of the face, for the background I wanted a solid color, I really had no idea what color to use until I placed this pale blue and I loved how it highlighted the tone of the hair with the blue background, then I used a vintage flower brush and put a white color with low opacity and created this floral pattern in the background, finally I applied an adjustment to the image adding a little more darkness and highlighting even more the shiny parts of the face.
