Good evening friends.
After a batch of drawings a little more colorful and cheerful I felt in the mood to return to what I like the most where I feel more comfortable, a nostalgic portrait with desaturated tones and at the same time warm, a sad look and many realistic details.
I really enjoyed painting this portrait, whenever I do something in this style even if I'm sad while I do it it fills my soul, sometimes it helps me to let off steam or even when I'm well it makes me feel better, because I always wanted to focus on these above all things, of course I love to learn other styles and explore new color palettes, that pleases me a lot but nothing like going back to your origins, anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
I started this drawing last night, I am taking advantage of these days of vacation for the holy week that is celebrated in my country, to be able to draw calmly, however, I finished the drawing today in the afternoon since I tried to give many realistic details to the skin, I made the sketch and then I chose the colors that I would place in the skin, warm skin tones, a bed of browns for the shadows and other lighter or pink tones where the light would go, I added a new layer and added even more colors giving a better shape to the face, hand and shoulder, I started to mix all the tones to leave a softer skin but still keeping some texture, all this step was painted with a simple hard brush and an opacity of 60% leaving that texture I was looking for.
Normally I paint the hair in separate layers but we are never safe from making mistakes, so without realizing I painted over the same layer of skin the hair hahaa I had already given too much detail to erase or undo it, I decided to just continue with my drawing without being afraid of anything.
Then I added highlights in the hair with light brown without giving so many details so as not to exaggerate, also some shadows with a darker brown.
I painted the eyebrows and eyelashes, then I wanted to place a piercing in her nose I painted it with light gray and a dark gray, I created a new layer of lights to start highlighting the eyes, nose, lips and hair, finally I took my drawing and made a color adjustment increasing a little the saturation and details of each stroke until I was happy with the result.
