The lighting
Good evening Sketchbook.
Today I wanted to improvise a little, I wasn't looking to do something too elaborate but rather something that would allow me to feel freedom in my hand, a somewhat careless drawing without any extra detail but a portrait with a painting effect, let's say that today I didn't feel like being so perfectionist and the good thing about art is that you can express yourself as you want or as you feel at that moment, for this drawing I chose a palette of pink and brown desaturated colors and at the end I wanted to add some light with a light beige tone, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and chose the colors, I started with a skin pink base, then I added more dark and light tones to create the lights and shadows, in a new layer I added more colors and started to blend to leave a smoother skin but at the same time with texture, so this time I didn't blur much, I painted the eyebrows, eyelashes and hair.
With a lighter brown tone I drew lights in the hair to give it a little more shape, I wanted a background with a similar tone to the ones I was using so I took this pale pink and placed it, then I added light with a beige, I started to mix the colors until I left a quite rustic texture that made this kind of mix between the character and the background, I added lights in the eyes, lips and nose and then I edited the image increasing a little more the saturation.

Beautiful painting.
I love your choice of color and background.
Has logrado capturar una sensación tan cálida y relajada con esa paleta de colores suaves y esa textura tan orgánica. Es un dibujo que realmente transmite esa libertad y espontaneidad que buscabas. Muy hermoso!
Keep up the good work. 👏🎵
