First portrait with my new Drawing tablet
En conclusión, mi experiencia para esta primera vez pintando en la XP-PEN deco PRO fue muy buena, estoy muy feliz por esta compra, solo es cuestión de tiempo para adaptarme mejor a las nuevas teclas y además de que mi mano sane completamente para poder explotarla al máximo, en fin, espero que les guste.
Good evening friends.
After a few days without being able to draw due to a hand injury (precisely caused by drawing a lot) I managed to recover, although not 100% I still have pain in my hand that gives me at times, but at least the worst is over, last night I finally had the opportunity to use for the first time my new Tablet, this time is the Deco Pro of XP-PEN, I wanted to start with a portrait drawing to not overload my hand doing too many elements and also to test it faster, in my first impressions I must say that I really liked this Tablet, I have too many configurable buttons and that makes it much easier to work, the thing is that I still do not get used to the express keys that I set and often I was wrong hahaha I still have in mind the configuration of the previous Tablet, also this tablet has a wheel also configurable to your liking that has 4 different configurations and is super easy to handle, that wheel is my favorite part of the whole Tablet, in my case I used it to set the brush size and also the zoom of the image, it works great and allows me to work everything much more comfortable and faster, The texture of the tablet is quite different from the other two I've had, however, after a while you get used to it and it feels super nice, the pencil is beautiful and comfortable, it also has two configurable buttons, I got to a point where I did not know what other configuration to put so many buttons I have.
For this drawing I used mostly the diffuse brush, the pressure of the pencil and the finish I get with each stroke is pretty cool, I feel that this drawing was nicer than with the previous tablet, although that may be for several factors, including the ease of handling the shortcuts and make the work easier.
In conclusion, my experience for this first time painting on the XP-PEN deco PRO was very good, I am very happy for this purchase, it is only a matter of time to adapt better to the new keys and also that my hand heals completely to be able to exploit it to the maximum, in short, I hope you like it.
I made my sketch, then I started to place the base tones of the skin, this time I wanted to use pink and some brown tones, in a new layer I added more colors forming the whole face, then I started with the eyes, mixing all the colors leaving a soft and more realistic texture, then with the nose and finally the whole face and neck, for the hair I placed a medium brown base color.
With lights and shadows I gave shape to the hair, for the background I chose a light blue desaturated color, it occurred to me to draw some branches that surround the neck, I wanted to redden the cheeks, nose and around the eyes, I did it with an orange tone, I added a layer of lights highlighting the eyes, nose and mouth, this time I didn't want to exaggerate much with the lights so they were very subtle illuminations, finally I edited the image making a color adjustment to my taste, giving it a little cooler tones in general, but very subtle.
