Hello community, I hope everyone is doing well.
Today I felt inspired to do something with different colors, a color palette that although it is not my favorite, I really like it, because it gives that warmth that sometimes we seek, without losing my style with a look and expression full of nostalgia, I felt comfortable working with this portrait even though the colors could get to stun me a little, I thought that maybe these tones would take away the protagonism of the "sad" theme that I usually use in my drawings, but on the contrary, it helped me a lot and it turned out quite well, it taught me to understand that not only cold tones are full of that nostalgia that I like to reflect so much, I hope you like it.
I made my sketch and selected the tones to use, this time I chose a range of olive green, yellow and orange tones, I started by placing this olive green as a base all over the face, then creating a new layer I started to fill in with the other tones, giving a lot of light on the right side of the face and on the other side darker and greenish tones, I added another layer and started to add more tones until I had a very well formed face.
I started to give more shape to the face mixing all these colors and leaving a quite soft skin, for the hair I chose a light brown and a dark brown to make some highlights and give movement to the hair, I was really liking the drawing, but I wanted to try to make the lips darker and I really loved this wine color that I put on it because it highlights with the skin tone and matches the hair.
I painted a sunflower in the hair and added more details to define certain parts of the face, I also added more lighting in some areas.
I was finishing my drawing and I thought it would look great with a little shadow on the left side, I liked the idea until this moment, when I detailed the image better I realized that it didn't look so good this darkness, so before uploading this post I went back to edit my drawing leaving it without that shadow that looked very ugly.
