Hello everyone! I am going to tell you a story that keeps repeating itself... Personally I think I'm very dramatic hahahaha, yesterday I was thinking about Christmas gifts, and money I don't have and my neighbors arrive and tell me something I didn't like, so my stress rises very high and suddenly it consumes me and I feel terribly tired, terribly seriously.
I was doing a course and suddenly they call me to tell me, I stopped doing my course and I didn't know where to go or what to do and suddenly, out of the blue, it occurred to me to make an illustration in illustrator something vectorial about stress, I look for images but none convince me and I see myself, I always take pictures so I made one that seemed good to me, that defined how I look or feel when I get stressed. When I get stressed I find it hard to see, and I cry and sit in a bucket. So I take the picture and start drawing but in Photoshop where I always do my illustrations and it turns out that during the whole process, drawing the shape of my stress, makes me free of it and suddenly I don't feel tired, or worried anymore, however the feeling of needing money, that one, never goes away hahahaha....
The part I like the most about belonging to #hive is that I tell them everything here, and almost no one knows me. So I can freely say everything I feel without feeling judged all the time. I appreciate it.
Process
This is the magnificent photo I decided to take hahahaha it literally represents me 100%.
Lines with a brush that I downloaded that is for lineart at a score of 3
Here I digress to show you where the color palette of this illustration came from.
Cartoon network made this and several color palettes and uploaded them to their social networks, these were of several scenes from several of their cartoons, I loved them so I have several saved.
Honestly at this point I feel like I'm turning into an ogre out of the movie Shrek myself.
I think I did 4 layers of shadows making this was fun.
And a single layer for the light.
Doing hair is never easy, really hahaha.
But I managed to be satisfied with what I did.
To make the lenses, it helped me a lot to be guided by the original lenses, to make the chrome effect, is really difficult if you don't have a guide, at least for me.
I almost forgot that I have a pulcer and completely forgot that I have a lip piercing hahaha I left it out.
Final Artwork
And that's it! The truth is that today I feel like I'm on cloud nine because of how distracted I am. I hope you like it and I think it helped me a lot to make this illustration to get out of stress, even though this illustration is about stress hahahaha. See you soon.
