Good evening friends.
In this opportunity I want to share a drawing a little bit out of my comfort zone, although it is still part of what I like to draw which are the faces, this time I wanted to do something closer, and highlight a lot the eyes, as I said before, the eyes for me are the window of the soul, they can express sadness, happiness, anger, with just a look and for this drawing I wanted to do a somewhat exaggerated and tired look, full of many reddish tones, I love to put this tone in the skin, I feel that it represents me a lot these red contrasts in some zones like the dark circles and the nose, I tried that the result was quite realistic and with some texture in certain parts, although if I could dedicate more time to it, probably it would be even more realistic, anyway, I hope you like it.
This time I was guided by several references of pictures of eyes from Pinterest, since I don't usually paint these faces so close, I chose the colors to work with which would be many saturated tones between pinks and some oranges, also light and dark brown, in a new layer I placed more colors with a hard brush to finish shaping everything and proceed to blend, to blend use the same hard brush with a medium opacity, after finishing, go over with the diffuse brush to leave an even softer texture, paint the eyebrows and eyelashes, also detail a little more the eyes and apply illuminations with white dots in several parts of the face.
I wanted to paint some subtle veins around the eye, specifically in the under eye area, I feel it would look much more dramatic this way, I added more color around the eye applying more reddish and orange tones, I wanted to brighten up a little more so I added more lights especially inside the eye, I finished editing the image, maybe increasing a little more the contrast and saturation but without exaggerating so much.
