Sorrow
Today I was again inspired to draw, I love to do it and these last days I have had the opportunity to take my pencil quietly, today contrary to my last drawing I wanted to do something more melancholic, then I remembered that I haven't worked in black and white for a long time and I decided to apply it this time, so it would give a little more drama to the subject, it was a little difficult to paint the hair, I wanted a curly hair something I don't usually draw a lot but it's really complicated, I did my best, I hope you like it.
I made my sketch and started to place a light base tone on the whole face, a gray almost white, then with darker grays I started to add the shadows, in a new layer I started to give more gray tones to the face to finish forming everything, starting with the eyes, then nose and then the rest of the face and neck, I wanted to leave the hands for later because it would be the most difficult to paint, I changed the background a tone almost white and started to mix all the grays to leave a soft texture on the skin.
Then I painted the hair with a gray in a medium tone and then with black and darker and lighter grays I started to give shape to the “curls” I did my best attempt and I feel that it doesn't look so bad, now it's time to paint the hands, I think this is what took me the longest time, it was totally complicated to paint these hands, even the nails, when I finished the hands, I started to add a layer of lights where I highlighted the eyes, nose, mouth, I finished editing the image making very slight adjustments because I really liked how it looked, I just added a little more depth and that's all.
I love the realism that you can work with using grayscale, it's a pretty good practice and not so difficult when you learn to master it.
