Wake up now! - Illustrative process

English

Hey people! Welcome back.

Today I woke up in a good mood, I have been changing a lot of things in my life and especially my way of thinking, I tend to be a little negative and depressive from time to time, but something told me Wake Up Now, make the change yourself because no one will do it for you. For this reason I wanted to dedicate myself today to this illustration, where we notice that the person's hands look like they are going through a torment and in his hands he is holding an alarm clock that is melting.

Let's start with the process:
For this occasion I used grayscales again, this time with my usual brushes (a round brush and the watercolor brush), I was placing the base colors and mixing little by little.

Then with the watercolor brush I intensified the lights and shadows on the skin. Once this part was ready I started to draw the clock, I did it in a normal way and then to give a melting effect I joined all the layers and used the "liquefy" tool, taking the brush in only one direction.

For the end I made the bandages, something I wanted to try was to place the illustration in sepia colors, but in the end I did not like the finish, I do not know if I exaggerated something with the filters, but I noticed it blurred, so I left it in grayscales and added a small texture of "noise". I hope you like it. See you next time 😋
