Today I felt like drawing something a little... bloody, although it didn't turn out very well. I feel like there's something I don't quite like about this drawing. I don't know if it's the shape of the face or the way I painted the blade embedded in the mouth, which I tried to improve in many ways but to no avail. In the end, it's not a drawing I hate, but I do feel like something isn't right. The idea for this drawing came after seeing some photos I took a long time ago where I pretended to have a broken mouth, a photo that was, let's say, “aesthetic.” Besides, I have a slight obsession with this style of drawing. This one in particular underwent many changes, but even so, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and began to paint the skin with shades of pink, red, and brown. Little by little, I added more shades, giving the face better structure, and then blended it. Although I didn't want to blend it so much, the colors I chose this time weren't helping, so I blended more than I should have. Then I painted the hair, which at first was going to be a reddish shade.
But I didn't like that hair color, so I ended up changing it to a very dark blue. I wasn't convinced by the eyes either, so I decided to transform dark eyes into white eyes with several veins and reddish areas. I painted the blade in the mouth, and this step took me quite a long time because I couldn't get it to look good enough. I did the best I could. I added freckles to the cheeks and nose, and I also painted blood on the mouth. I wanted to give the skin more color by reddening it a little more around the eyes and cheeks. I finished by adjusting the color, intensifying the colors and adding highlights with white dots in areas I wanted to emphasize.
