Good evening, everyone. Lately, I've had a hard time thinking of something to draw, but even so, I really wanted to paint, so I decided to take inspiration from a drawing I did a few months ago and create a second piece. I took many of the elements and colors from that drawing I did in June 2025 and made another version. I think this one is simpler, but I love it just the same. Well, I'll leave you with the drawing that inspired me so you can see the similarities and differences. I feel that if I were selling drawings as I used to a few years ago, this would be a very nice collection, and I would create many more pieces.
I made the sketch, this time from a different angle, and then I started painting using fairly cool, desaturated skin colors. The skin colors are not completely similar to those in the first drawing, as in that one I used slightly pinker tones and in this one I wanted a cooler/more opaque result. On a new layer, I added more colors to shape the entire skin, and then I began to blend everything using a hard brush with medium opacity. I also painted the clothes with a very dark blue, almost black, and with a pale blue and very low opacity, I made the folds of the fabric
For the hair, I used a dark base color and then began to add highlights. I gave more color to the lips and cheeks with reddish tones and changed the background to a dark blue. On another layer, I painted some spots with light blue and purple to simulate space and small stars, but only a few in very small areas without exaggerating too much. I added highlights to the eyes, nose, and lips, and I also wanted to take one of the elements from the previous drawing and place it in the form of a black tear in the left eye. I finished with a slight color adjustment, giving it slightly cooler tones.
