Hello everyone in the Hive community

Greetings to all as every day I spend a lot of time browsing social networks especially instagram and pinterest, looking for references and portrait styles that give me ideas to post here in the community and I found this style of making a portrait and in the background a multi-color gradient, I've tried it and want to show it to you.

I always start with a pencil sketch to be sure of the structure

This time try to highlight enough in the outline of the portrait and then put the background in gradient.

As in this portrait I am trying a new style for me I did not want to do it as I traditionally do so I tried to do another type of shading.

And ready at the end I have added the background with a gradient and I have edited the entire portrait to highlight the colors and leave it much cleaner.
