Hello everyone, in this post I wanted to talk and teach about my latest self-portrait.
In this portrait, I have to start. Take a picture of me, which is used as a reference, make the sketch and then decide the portrait with the technique of watercolor and the distortion of the range of colors, the colors of the skin. Terracotta, the wardrobe of blue colors and the background a warm red. Then, since the color palette was harmonic, I decided to change it and use pop colors (pink, yellow, blue).
For the color of the illustration, the decision of the skin, the application of light and dark layers to define the values, the watercolor procedure in the hair, the decision of a mixture of navy blue, and go defining little to little values with the color blue and black, and to finish detailing the hair decide with the color white the details of brightness. Then I continued with the costumes, which began to apply to a layer of cobalt blue for the shirt and dark blue to define and simplify the values of the shirt. Then on the shirt apply a layer of blue sky and then use a layer of this color, to define and simplify the dark values of the shirt. Then in the background apply several layers of a cheerful yellow, to complete the color palette. And to finish the portrait I decided to do with the white paint additional details of the shine on the face and hands.
Thank you for your attention, I hope and you liked my work.
