Good night, my dear Hivers!!! 💕💕💕

Today I want to show you what I did a few days ago, I should have shown it a few days ago but well I couldn't show it before due to so many power failures. God has grabbed us to party at every moment.

I made this portrait inspired by a beautiful model of which I will leave the reference at the end, something that I wanted to do with the reference, well, I haven't used references for a long time to make the positions or faces, this time I wanted to try it more than anything to practice a little But that's not to say that I wanted to do it exactly as the girl was and I would have done it, but I didn't feel like doing something like that, just creating something from that position.

Maybe in the future I would like to make more realistic, hyper-realistic faces, but I understand that this would take a long time to work out details, which is completely justified, since the result is impressive.

On this occasion I decided not to start with gray scales, but rather with the base color of what something similar would be or good, only for the base and that's fine. Some shadows and lights according to what I was seeing in the reference, although well, it's not like I followed it as is, in fact I didn't want that if I had wanted to draw it as it was in the photo, well, but it wasn't almost only for some things and I invent the rest.

The sketch was already almost gone, and that, that's not strange, ahah, it had a little more detail, there was still a lot to cover, but even though the eyes were a little crooked, it looked better, here I began to change a little what it would show face, I had thought to do the hair in a different way -

I had to fix the eyes that were somewhat crooked, I think that with that the look had changed a bit, perhaps before she looked tired, I have improved the lips a bit, I had to go into detail as I progressed More things, and I started with the lips , it is one of the things that I like the most.

Previously it didn't look bad, but there was something I didn't like very much and that is that I wanted to give it a more natural style and perhaps how it looked the way I wanted, so in this step I did that, naturalize the features? something like that, what did keep changing are the lips, I wanted it to be seen more, I don't know how to say it, more chubby, fleshy, fluffy, padded, provocative God I don't know ahaha.

I have accentuated a little more what the shadows are, in a very soft way but it added a little more depth, at this moment I changed the program and I have gone to Corel painter because the hair and some other details I was going to do there, I have used impasto brushes, I took a background that I had before, which I edited in the same program with some brushes.

It's not that the brushes are magical and they do everything, that's not the case either, but that you should paint the same but you get the different effects that are not found in Photoshop, I have done when I save the file and open it in Photoshop they lose many of the textures. Bad for me 😣

I would have loved that the effects and glows that I managed to do in Corel would have remained, but when I opened it in PS, I lost a lot of it, so I did add and finish detailing the eyes a little more, add the flowers and some more details and finish this portrait. I hope you liked my new work and I'll see you tomorrow, my dear Hivers!

See you soon and have a good rest!!! 🤗💖😘😴😴😴
