Happy weekend.
Although it may not seem like it, I really like illustrations that have a lot of color and especially if they have a combination that sounds pretty crazy and flashy, although it is something that I usually practice very little because my style goes with colder and desaturated tones, however, there are days like today where I feel inspired and eager to capture something different, get out of my comfort zone a little bit, sometimes it's hard for me to have ideas but I love to draw and I try to develop them little by little while I'm painting, I'm really satisfied with this last work for which I used a varied color palette and which cost me a lot to work, it's really a challenge to change "normal" skin tones to more fantasy skin tones and combine them between cold and warm, join me to see the process of this colorful work and I hope you like it.
In my mind I already had the idea that I wanted something quite colorful, but I thought that maybe it could be a portrait, however I was more interested in doing at least part of the body so I decided to opt for a torso, I made the sketch which was quite complicated, the pose was somewhat difficult to handle and at first I felt that I was going to be cross-eyed by the angle of her face hahaha, I began to paint the background placing part of the colors with which I would work in this case a range of pinks, oranges, blues, some purples and reds, for the base of the skin I applied a gray color with purple tones, I created a new layer where I added more colors to give shape to the body, this time I did not want to add as many colors as I usually do to not get confused so much, it was really difficult, I started to put color to the hair and dress.
El cabello me preocupaba bastante, pero me llene de valentía y comencé a pintar añadiendo diferentes tonos claros y oscuros, luego dibuje mechones por mechones y algunas partes las rellene con ayuda de un pincel con textura de cabello, queria que este dibujo tuviese algo de flores, asi que comencé a pintar esta especie de flores que cubren el brazo, las cuales hice simplemente dando algunos brochazos sin muchos detalles, pero cambiando los colores para darle contraste y un efecto de flores.
I started blending the colors of the face to give it a soft finish, then I did the same with the chest and arms, I continued detailing the face, giving more focus to the eyes, painting the eyelashes and eyebrows, this time I didn't want to add pupils so I just painted the eyes with purple, for the dress, I wanted something with movement and style, so I decided to try something different and I liked it a lot, I started to play with different shades of blue and used a chalk texture brush, I applied different touches of each color all over the dress and the result was amazing, at least for me.
The hair worried me a lot, but I got brave and started to paint adding different light and dark tones, then I drew locks by locks and some parts I filled them with the help of a brush with hair texture, I wanted this drawing to have some flowers, so I started to paint this kind of flowers that cover the arm, which I did simply giving some brush strokes without many details, but changing the colors to give contrast and a flower effect.
I gave more details and colors to the background, I also painted these flowers in the background, although I feel that those were much better than the ones in the front haha, I added a light layer to begin to apply light details to the face and give more life to the whole thing, I painted a necklace on the neck and then I thought to put some "petals falling and some feathers too, finally I applied a color adjustment to give more depth and saturation to the drawing, I was very in love with the final result.
