Back to surrealism
Hello community, a couple of days ago I finished this work, although surrealism is something that I have always liked sometimes I feel that I do not apply it at all, this time I was inspired by the clouds and the sky as the main element for this illustration, I wanted represent the sky as if it were water, for this I did what I like the most: portraits.
I also drew a raven, this raven I took from a previous illustration I did to this one to create a series of related drawings, each one telling a similar story.
Whenever I make a sketch I forget that the most important thing and what will give life to these works, will be the color, so as almost always I was quite unhappy with the sketch, but I decided not to leave it and just continue, this time I added a color palette quite realistic without using extravagant tones as I have done in my last works, to paint her face I used only one brush, I used the diffuse brush, with this same one I was giving every detail of her face, interspersing the opacity and the size according to the details that I wanted to give in each zone.
For the clouds I did use a different brush and this would be a cloud-like textured brush, however the details I added later on was a combination of this brush and the soft brush.
For her hair I chose a brown color and made some highlights using a light copper tone, I wanted to give the impression of wet hair, so I drew some close to her face, quite fine. Paint a lot more clouds under her to give that impression that she is "submerged in the clouds"
I applied many more lights and shadows, I gave more details to the face and also to the bird that, as I had already told you, I had previously drawn it in another drawing and I also used it for this one, the crow was very good on his nose and I would add even more that surreal touch that I was looking for, in his eye I painted a small tear of blood and finally applied some color adjustments to the whole drawing and a bit of texture as well, which can only be seen by seeing the drawing in its original size.
I was quite excited making this drawing that really didn't last too long to finissh and I liked it a lot, I hope you liked it too.
