The shadow of death
Hello friends, I hope you are well.
Today after several days without drawing due to a hand injury I have been able to finish a drawing that I did in several sessions on different days, now is the only way I have to draw for now, it has been quite difficult because the pain has been increasing gradually, anyway, this time I wanted to make a portrait that had a different decoration, to simulate the shape of a skull in the middle of the face but only using black lines, I do not know why I did it, it was just what came to mind and I love, vary the size of the brush to give different thickness.
I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and made the color choice, this time I used warm tones, a range of oranges, pinks and browns, in a new layer I added more colors to give completely the shape to the face, I added another layer where I softened those colors to give the skin a more natural texture, but with a little bit of rusticity.
This time I wanted to make the eyes completely white to give a more terrifying tone to the face, I painted the hair with brown and then the clothes with black.
As you may have noticed, I changed the shape of the torso when painting the clothes, because I felt it looked a little strange, I started to give lights and shadows to the hair to give it a wavy shape, I wanted a hair with a vintage style, then I painted the eyebrows and eyelashes and then I started to draw the stripes that would give shape to the parts I wanted to draw as a skull. I changed the background to a cream color, painted the earring in her ear, then I started to paint the background with colors similar to the ones I used in the portrait, with a low opacity and an oil texture brush, finally I made a color adjustment giving a little more saturation and darkness to the drawing.
