Hello Sketchbook community, a couple of days ago I took up drawing again after several days off and although I love to draw sometimes I have artistic blocks or too many ideas that make me saturate my mind, this time I could say that it happened like that, because I was quite excited when I started this portrait and it looked pretty nice without details, but it occurred to me to make this kind of mask which I drew each figure with the help of a mirror tool to make both sides symmetrical, the truth is that it took me many hours doing these small details and at the end I didn't like it, but I had already lost many hours doing it and I couldn't erase so many hours of work, so I decided to continue like this and implement more details to the drawing until I liked it at least a little bit.
I hope you like it.
I started a simple sketch, since I didn't want to give too many details, I chose the color palette for this occasion I used quite light skin tones, in a new layer I added more colors and then I started to mix them to have a realistic and soft skin, I chose a red hair color and the eyes I painted them in a quite light blue, i love this combination between the red hair and the light eyes.
At this point I really liked how it looked but I felt that I wanted to add something more to not make it so simple, then it occurred to me to activate the mirror tool and start drawing figures in the center of the forehead, little by little I was extending these figures around the eyes and nose, my idea was to fill the whole face but the truth was that I could not continue, my hand was hurting too much, it was at this moment that I chose to make a kind of mask, after several hours of work I hated the result but I couldn't erase all that work so I decided to continue and add other details, I started to add lights to the face to give it more life, I painted a bright choker and for the background I started to explore options and ended up making a blue background with black, some spots around it and a kind of butterfly wings shape, finally I applied a color adjustment giving a more blue tone to the drawing.
