Greetings dear Hivers!!! Triz here!!
How are you today? It is so annoying to spend hours trying and trying to be able to publish since the images do not upload, in the last publications it has been the same trauma! That sucks! The internet is so slow these days more than usual, that's so stressful!
When I draw I forget those crazy things, and that's what happened with this drawing, this is the final drawing that I'll be publishing for this week I think, since I have to make a design for someone and I don't think I should publish it. If all goes well, the light at the end of the tunnel will be there for me.
I wanted to do another portrait and I was looking at some photos but I didn't decide on any of them, and it's not that they were interesting, it's that I wanted to do something fantasy but implementing some of the things that I've learned these days. At first I wanted to do something that had to do with nature, I like that theme a lot, but after it was drawn everything flowed in a different way, I was open to other options, and some darkness seemed good to me. Although the idea I had at the beginning I will save it to do it on another occasion!.
Now if I will show you how the process of this was 😁
I did not want to start with a sketch, I just used a brush that had some texture and I freely made random brushstrokes to have some idea, nothing perfect, I just let myself go while drawing.
After going over the brush a few times, many times in fact, the shape of the body could be seen a little better. I did everything in a single layer and if in extreme need I made a new layer, I combined it when I saw that it was fine. So I didn't use the eraser this time, I guess I used a lot of digital painting hahahaahah.
When I started this drawing I had a different idea in mind but at this point everything changed, why? that was the Finger's fault, this tool used to soften or stain colors. After I had blended the skin colors and the face was in better shape, thankfully. I decided to use this tool (The effect changes depending on the brush, the one I had at the time I liked) on the girl's head and I changed my mind about what she wanted to do.
After adding those black lines and using my finger to smear a bit, I saw that the image was a bit white, it's not that I was looking for a drawing that was only dark but that it had some shadow since I wanted the skin of the girl and the light that I was going to add would attract more attention.
This did look better and I was liking it, for the skin I did not use only one color, by this I mean only use 3 colors that would be light, medium and shadow but always the same tone, instead I put some shades of pink, blue , purple... I'm experiencing new colors. Add the light that I was talking about and that is part of the girl... Ohhh and drawing on a layer is not so bad, it was a good experience, before I was very worried that I might mess it up, but this time I was confident and it was more natural.
