Hello community I hope you are well, today I have decided to go back a little to my beginnings where I made (or at least tried) realism with a touch of nostalgia and mystery, the truth is I am very happy with the result, it has become one of my favourites drawings, I have always loved painting eyes, I feel that the eyes are the most important part of a face since it can easily reflect sadness or happiness, so for this opportunity I wanted to exaggerate the size of the eyes a little giving it a little more prominence, using desaturated and dark tones and playing a little with the light that this drawing would have, the change between the sketch and the final result is impressive, I hope you like it as much as I do.
I started with the sketch, to be very honest I was hating the sketch so much! But I still decided to paint it to see how everything would turn out, I applied some desaturated base tones on her face mostly in brown tones and some pale blues, I painted the hair dark brown but I still couldn't decide whether to leave the hair the same as the sketch or change it, for that reason I painted only one part at first, in a new layer I made the mixture of skin tones creating the shape of her face, I did this with an oil painting texture brush without being very careful since I wanted to see some strong strokes, I decided to paint her hair with some waves.
I painted her neck and chest giving it the correct shape, painted her eyebrows and added blue highlights to her hair, I loved how cute her lips looked and painted some blood coming out of them, it looked beautiful to me, I chose a dark background and keep giving some small details to the face.
Now I took care of giving a little more light to some parts of the face and especially to the eyes, they would look simply beautiful, create some points of light and paint with a little red around her eyes, giving an effect as if she I would have been crying.
It's been a long time since I painted huge eyes and such realistic skin, I liked this artwork too much.
