Flourishing
If there is something I like a lot in my drawings, it's flowers, although I don't add them very often to my illustrations because I honestly feel that flowers are one of the most complicated things to draw, at least for me.
So I took advantage that I had some free time and several days without taking my pencil and my tablet to make a portrait that had a lot of flowers, including roses, so that it wouldn't be so complicated to do I wanted to paint them in a rustic way, imitating a little real painting, accompanied by a portrait with many realistic details, but at the same time with a little texture.
I decided to use a lot of bright colors for this work but at the same time leaving a dark finish and although the flowers are not perfect, I love the result, I hope you like it.
I started with the sketch of the face, for the flowers I didn't make a sketch because I feel that they would look better if I just painted them without any guide, to start painting I changed the background color with brown, then I started painting the face with desaturated and light skin tones, then I added a new layer where I added more colors to finish forming the face, then I started to mix the colors that the skin has but leaving some texture.
I painted the hair with brown and then I started to draw spots that would later become the flowers, but first I had to give a little more shape to the hair adding some lights and shadows with light and dark browns. Little by little I painted the flowers one by one adding dark and light tones, trying to give the best shape to the petals, as I mentioned I wanted to leave some texture to the edges of the flowers, so I started to add some brush strokes in certain parts with a brush with texture and low opacity, so to mix a little the background with the flowers, I felt that the face had a lot of light, then I applied a layer of shadows where I only darkened a little the face, added more textures around and some thin lines between the flowers.
I added some shadows under the eyes and also created a layer of lights, where I highlighted some areas of the face, to finish I made an edition of the drawing to give even more depth and contrast to the whole image, besides increasing just a little the saturation.

Confirmo, las flores también representa un gran reto, pero lo hiciste muy bien, me gusto mucho el efecto de goteo, parece que las flores fueran líquidas 🥰
siii queria darle un poco ese efecto, muchas gracias @yetsimar
I love flowers in pictures too. Not just because it feels very feminine but somehow they fit perfectly next to anything and do have the power to change a perspective over something in seconds. Great drawing!
yeah! love flowers 😍 thank you so much
