Digital Art: My Wounds Bloom

This artwork was born from a dream, yes, that's right, I dreamt of all the pain I was going through, all the storms, and I dreamt I was crying, and the tears were projected into reality, I felt those tears on my face, also in the dream was the solution to everything, I dreamt how all the wounds were healing, yes I was blooming. That's how the inspiration was born and I created this wonderful piece based on my healed feelings.

The first thing I did was a sketch with some crazy or messy lines, then I blurred the lines, and created clean lines in a way that would help me see the figure better.

Base colors of the work, I work with gray colors at the beginning, I really use this method in all my works of art, in this step it helps me a lot to generate a contrast between the body and the background.

I start adding details to the body, I continue using gray tones, but this time only darker than the previous step to focus and highlight shadows and more details.

Add color. I must say that in this part I hesitated a lot to add color, because I don't know if it has ever happened to you that you want to do something and you are afraid of what others will say, I mean that here in this piece I changed a little the color with which I have been working, and well this has happened to me a lot and it is frustrating, hehehe I don't know if I can explain, the fact is that in this step I tried many colors, it is one of the most difficult parts for me.

Add color to the background, flowers and textures. After adding the body colors, which took a few hours, it was time to focus on the background, and again it took a few hours, but I managed to create a beautifully textured background, I really liked mixing these colors, I felt like I could let go a little more, yes, I was a little more free, then I started to add color to the plants.

Define details. After choosing the colors, I started to detail, to add lights in the skin, reflections in the background, I also worked on the hair, and what took me the longest was the face, in short, what I do is detailing and detailing.

To finish, I added floating petals, and other debris in the background, apply a very low motion filter, also use color balance, so you can mix all the colors. And I think that's it, I had a lot of fun creating this piece.
