For some time now I have really liked portraits with a touch of surrealism and for this occasion I had a very nice concept to capture, I decided to do it without hesitation, and that's how in a couple of days I created "Our essence" a work that combines the human being with nature and that even compares us with it, I really loved doing this drawing, I sat for a full day adding details so that each part of this face, each branch, would look beautiful, I think it has been a long time since I hadn't enjoyed drawing something so much.
I started with the sketch, from the beginning I already had a clear idea, I was modifying the sketch until I had a slightly more symmetrical face and start painting, I added the base colors without much detail, little by little I was giving more shades in each part of the face, getting closer to him and studying where each medium, light and dark tone would go.
The background is simply some desaturated blue and brown tones, without much detail, currently I like to work like this since the background is really not that important in my drawing style, the idea is to attract attention with a portrait with a lot of details and well painted , continue painting and each time giving more details, in this case varying the size of the brush and the opacity where finer and stronger details are required, this process took many hours a full day to finish this part 1 and 2 of the process.
This detail was something that was not included in my main idea, but I found it interesting to paint a few drops of blood from where some branches are supposed to come out, for the hair, I used the same diffuse brush that I have used in the whole illustration and dabbed light ends with a special “hair” brush I don't really like to use this brush for all the hair since sometimes it looks very artificial, that's why I only use it for some details such as light or shadows, paint the branches guiding me in many Google images of branches, because even if you don't believe it, trees and branches have always been something difficult to understand to draw hahaha but guiding me I was able to give it the shape I wanted, I also did with the roots, paint small leaves that are on the branches and a lot of leaves flying around, I did some color adjustments and finally I put a lot of light on certain parts of the face, I love to brighten the face.
I made this drawing with a lot of love, it was my first work to upload on makersplaceco and I wanted to go big, so I tried very hard to make it perfect, with that touch of surrealism that at the same time touches realism on the face, I hope that you liked this work, I have many more that I have worked on these last days, soon I will show you.

El surrealismo es de mis temáticas favoritas en el arte y tu dibujos inmediatamente llamó mi atención. El cuidado y detalle que pusiste en él se puede ver en cada parte de la composición. Yo creo que las plantas y los seres humanos estamos conectados de una u otra manera, así que puedo interpretar tu dibujo como "crecimiento y progreso", aunque las ramas lastimen el rostro de esta chica, el arbol está creciendo y eso no es malo, crecer es sanar, progresar, aunque duela.
Me encanta leer lo que ven los demas en mi dibujo, realmente es muy acertada tu opinion, de verdad muchisimas gracias 😊
Está BRUTAL, la calidad de los detalles, la mirada, 👀❤️. De verdad precioso. Muy buen trabajo.
