Greetings dear community, today I was in the mood to do something with a little different colors, I usually use a very dark color palette, sometimes I use a lot of browns and blues for my backgrounds, because I really don't feel comfortable with such light colors as I feel that it doesn't suit me or that I'm losing part of my style? Idk it's something very strange, but today I wanted to try with light pink tones to make this portrait with a pale skin and beautiful blue eyes.
Although I thought it wouldn't be a good idea, I really liked it and I feel that it is still a drawing in my style in spite of using such a light color palette. My idea was to make a portrait with a texture around it using different brushes and I liked this one that has the shape of feathers, so I used it and intercalated colors to give it darkness and light in certain areas, I hope you like it.
I started my sketch without painting the feathers around because I tried and my head exploded with so many lines so I decided to hide that layer to start painting, I placed a pink background and started to apply the color to the skin using skin tones that were similar to the range of pink that I used as background, in a new layer I added more tones giving shape to the face and then start to blur creating this soft skin, recently for this whole process I used hard brushes but this time I used only the difuse brush.
Then I painted the hair with a gray tone and added some highlights with a lighter gray and white, also some shadows with a dark gray and a low opacity, I painted the eyebrows and eyelashes also with these colors to make them match with the hair. Now I started to use this brush with feather or fur texture, the truth is I'm not sure but I liked how it looked around the portrait, so I started to paint using a light pink and then a darker one to make dark in certain areas, I added some lights to the face and drew some accessories, this time I didn't want to make any color adjustments to the drawing because I think it already looked good as it was, I just finished placing my signature and that's it.
