Another dimension
What's up friends? I am quite happy because every day I am more excited to create this type of art, my latest drawings have followed a somewhat dark and not so realistic theme, this fills me with a lot of emotion because I draw with a lot of love for you, today I present this work that was an idea that came to my head and I just needed to guide myself from a few things to know where to draw the elements I wanted for this illustration, at first I thought that I could not make this mirror since its structure is really quite complex, but I decided do things calmly and after two nights of work I finished this work entitled "another dimension" where as always you can give the meaning you prefer, I personally wanted to reflect some mystery.
Our reflection of the darker side through the mirror.
I started with the sketch that at first did not convince me, it was very difficult to paint this mirror, I was guided by seeing several photos of mirrors of this style on the internet and I wanted to follow its structure but it was very difficult, I ended up doing some things my way and just leaving forms that I would mold while I was painting, so I put a dark background to draw calmly and not be blinded by white and I began to apply the colors to the face of this girl, I decided to use cold tones since this illustration would have a blue lighting, for the mirror wanted to make it out of a bronze type material, so I applied a beige color as a base.
I kept shaping the face of this girl, but I was very worried about the mirror, so I left that for a moment and focused on the most difficult, with different earth tones I managed to make this mirror have a shape, adding lights and shadows, I I quite like how it turned out however, later after painting her hair I realized that this bronze color did not fit well, I chose a saturation setting for the layer of this mirror and set the saturation to 0, so it turned out a nice mirror of a silver color, it combined much better with the entire composition of the drawing, this change was wonderful, the "glass" of the mirror I decided to make it as if it were water and thus give a little more surrealism to this portrait making her come out of this mysterious mirror, Then continue applying details to her face and hair.
On his forehead I painted a kind of crack similar to a bullet in a glass, I loved this detail because it is directly related to the mirror, in different layers I added more lights and shadows, I also chose a dark desaturated blue background and with the help of a brush With a watercolor texture and different shades of this blue, I was able to make a fairly simple background but it went very well with the rest, so I finished by applying some color adjustments, clarity, and saturation to the drawing completely, this made everything look even more striking.
I loved this drawing very much, since I had this idea I became very obsessed with finishing it and making it look exactly like this, it really is a great emotion to be able to recreate what I see in my mind and capture it on this canvas to share it with you, I hope you have liked it as much as me. Until next time!
