Distortion
Hello again community, a few nights ago I was thinking of making more portraits in black and white because as I mentioned before I love this technique because it handles a little simpler the theme of light and shadow, but at the same time I had a long time wanting to make a portrait with a blur or a simple glitch effect.
So I decided to join these two ideas and create a portrait with a little touch of surrealism where the head is detached from the body, I have always liked this also for my drawings but I don't do it so often because I like to vary ideas, in general I really enjoyed doing this, I hope you like it.
I was a little dissatisfied with the sketch as I felt it was too simple, but sometimes these simple works are necessary and have a lot of power, so I decided to follow my idea without so many details, I started to apply the grayscale on the face creating little by little the features, lights and shadows, once I had each tone in the place I wanted I started to blur to create a smooth skin.
I highlighted more details of the face and started to paint the hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, for the hair I used a medium gray and with a lighter gray, a darker gray and some black highlights I gave more shape to the hair, I painted points of light on the cheekbone, eyes, nose and lips, giving more volume. For the glitch effect I duplicated the drawing and changed the size making it a little bigger than the original and with the help of the layer blending mode I made the drawing to be overexposed giving the impression of distortion, I didn't want something so exaggerated so I didn't make it so marked, I changed a little the tonality of the image since I thought it gave it a different touch.

I adore this. I liked the colour tones and the motion blur / phase in / phase out - but then the hollow at the location where you'd expect a neck?
It took the illustration to a level truly of art. It made me think of someone who might be "voiceless", or indeed, literally "phasing" out of reality.
Incredible work. More so than usual.
Thank you dear @holoz0r In fact, I was thinking of exactly that when I was painting this portrait, someone without a voice, keeping all the words she can't say.
Beautiful art, I love black and white works
Thanks dear! 🖤🤍
