Blue feeling
Good evening, friends. Today I want to share a drawing I really liked. I really had no idea how to start painting it, so I started exploring a bit with shades of blue and pink. I don't know why, but I feel like this portrait draws me in just by looking at it. It was incredible to paint it, looking for details in the different lights, like the one reflected on the left side of the face. I tried to make huge eyes that were mesmerizing, but at the same time, looked a little tired. I hope you like it as much as I did.
I made the sketch and started painting with pale pinks, then I decided to add a bit of blue to the left side of the face to create more interesting lighting. On a new layer, I added more colors, giving the face a better shape and improving the shadows and highlights. I started mixing the colors, leaving the skin soft, then I detailed the eyes and lips. I wanted the lips to be a different shade to make them stand out, so I painted them a very intense red.
I detailed the eyelashes and eyebrows, which I painted in very dark tones, as well as the hair, and then added some highlights to give it a wavy shape. I changed the background to a darker color and then started playing with the layer adjustments to add a stronger blue highlight on the left side. As always, I added blue and white highlights to areas of the face I wanted to highlight, such as the nose, eyes, and lips. I finished by making a slight color adjustment to give the drawing a slightly bluer hue.
