Cuando pinte esto pensaba muchas cosas y en como a veces me siento, como una “perdedora” quizás suene exagerado pero los sentimientos no se pueden controlar, gracias al arte al menos puedo desahogar un poco estos sentimientos negativos, eso me alivia un poco, para este retrato quise hacer algo bastante lindo y a la vez nostálgico, pinte los ojos reflejando un vacío, y escribiendo la palabra “LOSER” en el centro de su rostro, siempre he querido hacer dibujos con algún escrito en la piel, pero pensaba que no quedaría bien, esta vez no me importo mucho y resulto bastante bien, espero que les guste.
Hi guys what's up? I hope you are ok, for my part these last days I have felt a little bit nostalgic and I wanted to reflect this in my art by making a portrait that started as something simple but that I end up loving so much, it's one of my favorite drawings so far and I want to share it with you.
When I painted this I thought about many things and about how I sometimes feel, like a "loser" it may sound exaggerated but feelings cannot be controlled, thanks to art at least I can vent these negative feelings a little, that relieves me a little, I wanted to do something quite cute and nostalgic portrait, I painted the eyes reflecting a void, and writing the word “LOSER” in the center of her face, I have always wanted to make drawings with some writing on the skin, but I thought it would look ugly lol, this time I didn't care much and it turned out quite well, I hope you like it.
It's funny how sometimes when we paint carelessly amazing things come out unlike when we paint delicately the results are not the best, at least in my case it is like that and that's how I started to paint my sketch, really without much care applying the skin tones base to then mix and form this face, portraits are my forte so I felt quite comfortable painting, that's how little by little the face was taking shape, beginning to detail the eyes and then the rest of the face.
After the whole face was formed, I began to paint her clothes, I chose a color that I don't normally use but that I felt would make a nice harmony with this drawing, I chose a slightly pale pink tone mixing it with other more intense pinks, paint the hand, this time it was easy maybe because the hand is big and could detail some things better, however this drawing was not intended to be perfect so it has an oil painting texture in some parts.
For the hair use a dark brown and then in a new layer add light and dark thus forming a little more realistic hair, on her face add freckles and some points of light, also in her eyes add more light, it seems that she is crying and that is why I painted a tear, finally I painted a little red on her cheeks and the center of her face and then I wrote the word “LOSER”.
I have been quite satisfied with my work, I love painting portraits with a touch of sadness, especially when my spirits are low, very beautiful things come out.
