These last few days I have wanted to explore and learn other styles, I really love realism, but also many works that are not so realistic have caught my attention lately, a fresher style and not so detailed and although it seemed easy, I did not is, perhaps it is the custom of always making drawings that are as close to reality as the texture of the skin, eyes, mouth, etc. This time I didn't work so much on the skin textures but I did play with several tones so that the shadows, highlights and midtones were visible and had the best possible shape, I used an unusual color palette for me and I dared to draw a kind of "ornaments" although I have never done them I think they were regular, it looks good together with this illustration, in addition I also did other things that I had never done and that is to leave the outline of the drawing using a red tone similar to that of her hair, late 2 days to finish it but I quite liked how stylized it was, the effect of movement that I gave to the hair and the color palette.
I started with the sketch in black, and changed the background to a fairly light cream color, then added the color palette I chose on top of my character, I really didn't like these colors very much at first, I usually work with more desaturated tones, but I decided to take a chance .
In new layers I began to shape the entire face, and then I took care of the wardrobe.
I shaped the nose a bit since it was too big in the sketch, I had to fix part of her face to be able to do a "rhinoplasty" 😂
I shaped her torso and hand, I think the hand was the most difficult, hands are always a problem. Time to comb that hair and here I made several attempts since as it is a hair that seems to be in movement it was a bit complicated to make sense of each hair, I took care of the background using pastel tones (blue and salmon) and a brush with a texture rustic.
I drew a kind of "ornaments" and multiplied them to place them in each corner I wanted them with a gold tone, painted over her bow some flowers with leaves finally I gave the last details, adding some freckles on her face, lights, shadows and color adjustment.
This last week I have experienced new things in drawing and I still haven't decided what I like more, I am currently working on a piece with neon tones and it is looking great, I hope to be able to share this next piece with you soon when I finish.
Happy start to the week and thanks for reading!
