The death
Hello friends, today I want to share a memory of a dream I had recently, it was something cloudy, I really do not remember very well the context, but I just remembered a similar image and decided to capture it in a drawing, for this portrait I wanted to use quite rustic brush strokes because I wanted to have my hand a little freer and paint without much care and detail, plus I love this effect because it simulates a little oil, I chose quite opaque colors, but a red quite vivid and powerful to highlight, I hope you like it.
To begin with I would like to tell you that the process is missing some parts at the end because I didn't save the changes after I had it ready, I realized it just when I clicked on "close" luckily I had already saved the image in PNG.
I started my sketch and chose the colors I was going to work with, this time I didn't use so vivid colors, I wanted everything to be more pale and cold, in a new layer I added more tones to give better structure to the face, I continued blurring these colors creating a soft but textured skin.
I painted the clothes black and then I added a reddish tone on the forehead, for the hair I also chose a pure black, then I started to paint these red lines that fade with the skin and go upwards, I also painted some blood lines on the left side going along the face, I continued adding depth in some parts of these red lines, then I started to draw the skulls, I did them in a way that they blend with this red silhouette, I also used the finger tool to blend some areas and merge the skulls better, finally I added a color adjustment where I highlighted a little more the eye and gave a paler tone to the drawing.
