Darkness and resilience
Happy Saturday to everyone, today I want to share a new portrait, this time I wanted to represent a little of how I felt these days, although I didn't have the title for this work, sometimes we know that we just want to paint but we don't know how to express it with words or titles, or at least that happens to me, my friend @chopiliart was the one who helped me with the title he has done it several times hahahaha, even though I did this drawing at dawn and dead asleep I wanted to finish it because I liked it a lot from the beginning, the expression and the color palette are things that definitely represent me a lot and these are the drawings I enjoy the most, I hope you like it too.
I started the sketch and chose the colors that would be quite dark tones, it cost me a lot to work with these tones because they are so desaturated and opaque, but I did my best, I really wanted that atmosphere of darkness for this occasion, I placed the colors with the diffuse brush to guide me where the same or similar tones would go, in a new layer I added more colors that would help to completely form the face, I added lighter tones in the center of the face giving the sensation of light in that part of the face, with a texture brush and varying between size and opacity I started to mix the tones of the skin until I blended them completely.
The most difficult part was the hand, since I was working with these dark colors and normally the hands are very difficult now if we add the dark factor it becomes a challenge, I filled myself with patience and began to fill with shadows and lighter tones creating the shape, also mix the colors until blurred and give the shape, paint the eyebrows and eyelashes, then I proceeded with the hair for which I didn't need to add so many light details because this part was darker than the rest of the drawing, so I only painted some dark and thin strands peeking through the forehead and face, I gave more life to the eye creating some light and then came the part where I wanted to draw tears, I also added red in some areas of the face to give more realism to this "crying" finally I placed a dark background and added some details of light throughout the face.
