Hello dear alien community, today I felt inspired to do something more beautiful with pink tones that although I don't usually use them excessively, I really like these tones, it took me a long time to do this artwork it but I really liked the result.
Sometimes we lose the essence of love after a failure, but we realize that we can overcome it and love again, we can find refuge in the love of family, friends, children, pets or perhaps find that person who finally mend a broken heart.
This work has pink colors since it is the first color that occurred to me when I thought of something romantic and nostalgic, the lights with neon tones is something that I have started working on a couple of months ago and that is one of the things that I most I like to do, besides that it gives a very striking touch, I hope you like it.
I started the sketch, this time I thought of someone holding a broken heart, this girl would have a slightly sad expression but without exaggeration, I thought of a background, I remembered one of my favorite cartoons "the powerpuff girls" has nothing to do with him subject of the drawing but I always liked the pattern of hearts that came out in this cartoon, so I used a mirror tool to start drawing hearts in the background, it was an idea that would be there but probably not incorporated, after painting it I realized that I really liked it so I left it, to start painting I used a palette of pink tones from the darkest to the lightest, I started to fill in her entire face and torso, then I filled her hair with a dark brown, I started to give details to the face by mixing all the tones that I had placed and blending them to create a soft skin, then I began to put base colors on the body and hands to begin to guide myself and mix these colors too.
After shaping the hand and body, I started to paint some accessories like a headband and a choker, for the background I filled in using dark pink and light pink interspersed between each heart, to make the neon effect in the background, I used different layers with various types of blending mode that made the light pink stand out, creating a quite nice glow, paint the heart that is holding in the hand and apply on top of her silhouette a layer of dark pink and a “multiply” effect giving it like this a little more darkness since the bright background would create that effect, finally apply some lights in some areas of the drawing that I wanted to highlight and adjust the intensity of the entire image.
