Today I bring you a very special illustration with a lot of character, in my quest for a refreshment in my style to try new things, I have been applying a new style of drawing in a work of sharp lines and watercolors, digitally, today is an illustration inspired by royalty and the color red, where the premise is to kneel before her queen.
The composition begins with a face with an angelic but dominant look, dressed in a shirt, and with a somewhat immculate pose, with a long and lush hair, worked on a white canvas to make the base sketch, resulting in a woman eterea, where on his head poses a heavenly crown winking to the crowns of the Catholic religion to their saints.
A garnet red color as the main base to work with the different colors, where in particular I work from lighter to darker as if I were working the same on a watercolor paper, giving depth progressively and thus more dimension to the face and accessories, for the crown I started to give the first touches with a light brown and then I was able to work it even more.
After having worked considerably the layers in depth, I began to add the lights with a very intense primary red with light reflection on the right side of the girl, accentuating in the high points of the face more concentration to give much more drama, then go with construction from less to more, to give light touches of white to accentuate even more the intensity.
I must also say that this is the first time that I play with the layer blending modes, and this has made the glows look more intense and natural, without the need to use different brushes and layers to achieve it, besides it represents a considerable saving of time, so I love it, every day you can learn something new.
By the time the girl was ready I defined the golds better with the fusion modes, but I was not satisfied so I focused on the background of the composition, which consists of a wall of red roses, where I worked a little the lights, to slightly accentuate the red of these and also the reflection of the light, also adding blur some areas for greater prominence and integration of the work.
To finish, I subtly added some glows, and moved to the post production phase, where I added noise and texture to the image to simulate a paper, I also played a little with the saturation and darkness, and slightly modified the sharpness of this, for the final result.
