An unexpected end
"An unexpected ending" is not the title of this work, in fact this work has no name, this title refers to the fact that I started this drawing with a totally different expectation than what it ended up being, I made this illustration a long time ago but never I had shown it, I realized that I have several drawings that have never come to light for different reasons, in this case it is that I simply did not like it as much as I thought it would, I really have many like that, but I still want to share each one of them, to give it at least one use and a place in this world outside of my folder hahaha, something I could rescue from this drawing is that I loved her hair, I have some kind of obsession with short hair on girls, I think it's extremely beautiful in the right face, it was very difficult for me to work on the profile, since I normally do portraits from the front or some other angle, but the colors of this work I think were the ones that did not completely convince me and that is why this drawing underwent changes from the beginning to the end.
As I always started with the sketch and choice of color palette, I think I chose some very bright and saturated colors for her skin and maybe that was my mistake, but I didn't realize until I had finished all the work, the background would be black , and with these colors in the character I felt some discomfort at sight, it took a long time outlining his face, it was very difficult to correctly paint his nose and the other eye that is almost hidden, for his hair I painted several layers I wanted him to have a cut layered quite nice, it really looked amazing, I added lights and shadows and it got much better, after hours of work and finally finished, I realized that I wasn't satisfied, so I made some color adjustments, desaturating the whole image a bit and just applying light on the edges of its silhouette, I thought it looked quite nice, however, I still didn't like it at all, so I decided to just leave it like that and not continue, I think it's not so bad maybe It's not a super fail, but I think I could do more, but the good thing about doing this is learning to do things better next time.
In these drawings that I have never shown, most of them are problems with the color and definition of some elements, which perhaps one day I would like to fix, perhaps one day I will dare to modify these works and turn them into something much better, soon I will show you the rest , meanwhile I'm working on a new illustration that you can also see here soon.
Thanks for reading my post.
