Like Wizkid sang 'brown skin girl, your skin just like pearls' 💕. I think this painting if I ever come around to naming my art would probably be titled pearls or brown skin girl if Wizkid lets me.
When I started this painting today, I was aiming for a smooth skin texture so most of my activity was around blending. It's funny how the moment I state I like a particular way of doing things, something in my mind asks me to confirm if I really mean it and then I find myself trying the exact opposite of the thing I said I liked.
So here's my final submission of my smooth and brown skin queen
My steps are as follows:
I started with an outline and then filled in the base colors
I then proceeded to blend a lot
I erased some part of her head gear and I cut out some of the glowy bit. I was so lucky to cut out the shape of what looked like a demon's head to me. This was what birthed the idea to create two demons by her side
I then began to play with the blend modes and I liked two in addition to the original and you can view them below
Thanks for stopping by!
