🌺hello hello community, we meet again🌺 I brought you today this illustration which makes me feel very proud and in which I particularly love the skin effect that I achieved, is part of a contest I did on twitter of #benjaminkato, which consisitia to recreate its icon of this social network, with a color code, I love this kind of contests because they make me to try new things in my drawings.
here the concept is merged in a jungle girl something like katy perry's roar, in a bust of a girl with tanned skin, with short hair with volume in tips very style of the 60's, big eyes, and a very nice heart glasses, golden touches and jungle vegetation with beautiful cayenne, very tropical.
In the contest one of the points was to implement the animal print in cheetah, I used it for the bandana on her head, the glasses with crystals in a slight reddish tone and prominent lips in an intense ruby, to highlight the sensuality of this woman without being too vulgar, something that attracts attention with modesty, the background vegetation was certainly a challenge, because I wanted to have a lot of detail, but I do not have much experience drawing plants.
I took as references some leaves of tropical plants and the cayenne flower because it is so striking and can be found easily in tropical climates and places, the background worked in olive green tones in a game of light and shadow, where the textures of the different leaves was key to the development of this as they give significant life to the illustration.
the makeup was worked in red and wine tones, in company of neutrals, quite dramatic eyelashes, part of my personal seal, highlighter and gloss to accentuate the bright spots of lips and skin, this is my favorite step and I always do it at the end of the drawings because I find it so pleasant that I enjoy each stroke even more than the composition of the drawing itself.
The glitter so characteristic of me as a final touch in a subtle rain that gives the touch of magic and fantasy, as if it were fireflies in the sunset, I really enjoy these conceptual works, because they help my creativity to light up, and I can connect with more people.
🌺🌺🌺🌺see you in the next installment, kisses and sparkles wherever you are, and remember that if you can dream it, you can achieve it, bye bye.🌺🌺🌺🌺
