Love mark
Happy evening to everyone, today I made a drawing that I loved, although at first I did not know the direction I wanted to take with this portrait, I decided to paint and develop my idea while I did it, this time I used very warm and dark tones, I wanted a very striking look of big eyes, that each stroke stood out in a very intense way, in the end I decided to draw different hearts covering part of the face that at the same time give the impression of holes, I must confess that gave me a little tripophobia to do this but I quite liked it hahaha, I hope you like it too.
I made the sketch and placed a brown background to work a little better with the color palette I had chosen, I started to place the colors on the skin, which were mostly browns and oranges desaturated, for the eyes I chose green, then I added a new layer, where I gradually added more tones and creating a little better shape of the face, in another layer I began to mix these colors to leave a cleaner finish, I gave many details to the eyes as I wanted a very nice eyes and that stand out among so much warm color.
I painted the hair dark brown and then I started to paint the hearts, which are coming out from the mouth to the forehead, with different directions, then I gave details to the hair with lights and shadows and then continue adding more realism to the hearts, painting with a darker red color over them creating that wound effect around them, then on each edge of each heart I placed some white lines to give that sensation of volume, I darkened a little more the background adding some more shadow on the edges, then I added a layer where I placed lights on the face, finally I edited the image a little bit increasing in minimum amount the contrast, after everything was almost ready, I thought about adding some texture to the portrait, so I placed a texture on top that gives the impression of an old photo, I love that effect.
