Happy weekend community.
Today I wanted to capture a little bit my mood of these last weeks, although I try to be strong it has been difficult between so many things that happen in the day to day, but even so I have managed to drain these feelings and that is why I created this work called "blue" blue is one of the colors that I like most brings me peace and feelings of nostalgia, also is quite related to the feeling of "feeling blue" in other words: feeling sad, so I decided to do everything with a palette of this color, but combining it with some purple and pink to give that different contrast in some areas of the face.
I hope you like it.
Proceso/Process
At first I made my sketch of a portrait with short hair, but I was not completely convinced, I left it anyway and decided to change it later, I placed the colors I wanted to use which were blue, lilac, purple and pink, I created a new layer where I placed even more tones with a harder brush to give the shape completely to the face, then mix all the colors to leave a soft skin, paint the hair with a dark blue changing the shape of the sketch I had done.
I added lights and shadows on the hair to give it a better shape and then I finished painting the neck and part of the visible chest, I wanted to add more color to the face to give more realism to the crying expression, I also drew small tears falling down the cheeks, I painted the clothes with dark blue and then I started to add lights and shadows to create the folds of the fabric, I chose a colorful background so I placed a light blue, I thought of placing a wound on the forehead and I thought that I like the effects that look like broken, cracks, etc, so I made a hole in the center of the forehead and some lines around it, to give it more realism and volume I put lights and shadows around the cracks, finally I applied some lights and made a slight editing of the image giving it a little more depth to everything.
