Good evening friends, today I started a drawing with an idea in mind that finally I didn't like and ended up changing to another very opposite style, although it's not too noticeable, this drawing had vibrant colors saturated with oranges, yellows and cream color, but I really wasn't liking how it looked and I ended up modifying the color settings of the layer, going for cooler tones and at the end I took my drawing to a more “fantasy” level, I wanted to paint a moon on the forehead and little stars around it, I liked it a lot and it improved the mess I thought I had made, I hope you like it.
In the process you can't see 100% of the colors I used at the beginning because I modified the layers and I couldn't save before, however, I had chosen a palette of colors more saturated than you can see in the image, among these tones there were pinks, cream, reds and even very strong oranges, I began to fill all the skin placing lights and shadows, in a new layer I added more colors giving shape completely to all the skin, I began to mix the colors without much care because I wanted to leave texture and that effect of oil.
I painted the hair with a very dark brown tone almost reaching black, then I added highlights with lighter brown, for the background I applied dark and light colors with an oil texture brush giving it a curved shape, from this point I started to change even more the color, giving a little bit of darkness and blue tone to the whole drawing, I added a layer of lights where I started to highlight the eyes with a very clear and bright blue, in this same layer I drew stars and many points of light in areas of the face that I wanted to highlight, finally I edited the image and here was where I completed the work of giving that cold color to the whole drawing, I really like it much more like this, it looks magical and beautiful.
