Good evening Aliens! Today I am very happy to share with you this new portrait where I wanted to apply a mixture of colors that is out of my comfort zone, although this type of colorful drawing and unusual combinations I have done before, it is not something usual for me because in my opinion the difficulty is quite high, because you have to know very well where to place the colors so that, even doing a mixture of different shades can look good, I am really very satisfied with this drawing, it has become one of my favorites although this style is colorful I continue keeping my style when painting and giving it that point of dramatism that I love, also for the first time I tried to draw clothes with sequins, it didn't come out as well as I expected but not as bad as I thought it would be at the beginning, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and I was already afraid, the truth was thinking how to paint correctly the face and especially the hand, in the sketch I drew a bow in the back of the hair at the end I forgot to paint the bow and I barely realize at this precise moment hahaha, anyway, then I chose the colors to work, I started filling with a desaturated olive green, then I started to fill with different tones starting around the eyes with blues, oranges, yellows and pinks, then I started to apply colors on the chest, neck and hands, in a new layer I added even more tones to give a better shape to the face, then I started to mix all these colors to leave the face soft but still keeping some texture, I started to paint the hair too, at first it would be green but later I changed my mind.
I started to give better shape to the chest and hands, it was a hard work to get a good finish on the hands, I felt it looked strange at first but little by little I fixed it, then I decided to change the hair color, I preferred to use blue and pink, I started to apply pink on the edges to simulate a light and blue in front, varying between dark and light blue to create the locks of hair and make it more realistic, then I decided to add something that was not in the sketch, I decided to paint clothes, this clothes started with a dark blue base and then I started to fill with several medium dots of different colors, I wanted to simulate sequins, to give it a better finish I added lights to the sequins.
After painting the clothes I painted the background with a dark blue, then I added a pink light in the center, also as always, I added a layer of lights to illuminate different parts of the face, I finished the drawing editing the image making the colors even more intense and adding a blur on the edges of the face.
