Hi guys, happy weekend!
I am very excited to share today this drawing, since this time I have used two programs to reach this result, as many of you know, this digital painting technique that simulates a little bit the real painting, oil, acrylics, etc, I love it, but sometimes I am not 100% satisfied, today I remembered that I have a program that has all the tools to complement that rustic side of the drawing that I like so much, Artrage is a program that has different brushes and tools that simulate quite well the oil, palette knives, watercolor brushes, among others, but the truth is that I have this program installed for almost two years and I had not used it because it was somewhat complicated to handle it with the Tablet, since I have to configure the buttons in different ways to use them, but today I took courage and worked a little with the mouse, the pencil of the Tablet and some hot keys that were well configured even I do not understand very well the operation of each tool and the different mixtures that can be achieved but I wanted to test this time and it was very good.
I hope you like it!
I started my sketch in Photoshop, the idea I had at the beginning was something quite realistic and with fantasy details that I thought I would place later, however, I started to paint and everything changed course. I used a very clear color palette, where I applied cream, beige, light brown and orange tones, in a new layer I added more colors to completely form the face, I painted the hair with dark brown and began to mix each color of the face leaving a smoother skin but with a little texture.
For this point, I wanted to do that painting technique, that I like so much, I started painting the torso with rustic brush strokes, then I added light details to the hair and decided to try ArtRage because I was not satisfied with the effect in Photoshop, normally I always do it there but I felt that this time something did not fit, so I opened this program and started exploring between brushes and textures to make some color details that simulate real painting, I thought it was very cool to add these colors that make a difference with the color palette of the whole drawing, besides adding that scruffy style I was looking for, after exploring for a while and being happy with the result, I saved the image and went back to Photoshop, where I made a slight adjustment of color, saturation and also add some points of light in the face.
