Hello everyone, good evening.
Today I wanted to experiment with a colorful portrait and I chose a quite common color combination, warm tones on one side and cold tones on the other, all these colors with a strong saturation because I wanted a neon result, it was really a little difficult this time, especially in the forehead area, I feel that just there I could not get a good balance of colors even though I tried, however, the drawing was nice despite that (or so I would like to think) I hope you like this striking mix of colors.
I made the sketch in which I was a little late because I wanted to do a different hairstyle than the ones I have done lately so I came up with a hairstyle that took me several attempts until I got the shape I liked. I chose the colors for my drawing and started to apply them, on the right side blue and purple tones, in the center a little pink and on the left side oranges, yellows and strong pink, in a new layer I added more colors to give shape to the face and then start to mix them, I left some texture on the skin but at the same time it looks soft, for the hair I used a dark pink as a base.
Then I added highlights and shadows to the hair with the corresponding tones on each side, I changed the background to a dark blue color and added some blue and orange highlights, I also added a layer of lights where I started to draw highlights on the eyes, cheekbone, nose and lips. I finished by making a color adjustment where I wanted to increase the saturation and give a little blurry effect all around.
