Black Sea
If there is something that I like, it is art with a touch of mystery, very rarely I develop an idea because I feel that I will not be able to do it as I want, but I have given myself the task today of making this image that came to my mind while I was thinking what to draw , I love skulls and bones, it's something quite interesting that I like to try in all kinds of art, so I decided I wanted to do this kind of black sea where a mysterious woman was coming out of the water, surrounded by several skulls around her, which I wanted to imagine that they are some kind of victims of this woman with strange horns, accompanied by a turbulent sea and lots of light.
I really liked how this drawing turned out, I want to keep trying a little more and although it is not noticeable at first glance I wanted to do it with a rustic touch, I really painted with a lot of free hand, I did not want it to be perfect, I simply wanted it to have a shape without to be perfect.
I started my sketch with a very clear idea of what I wanted, she would be a kind of "demon" woman coming out of the water, with a penetrating gaze and a bit of a Viking style, I wanted a cold color palette that would simulate a dark night, but with a light reflecting off one a side, so i chose a lot of blue and gray tones to start laying the base colors on top of it, on a new layer paint her hair a dark, desaturated red tone as a base, apply another layer where i would start blending the tones of the skin and give shape to each part of her body, also paint some dark texture in the water to make look it more cloudy.
Make a kind of simple line tattoos on her arm and mouth, for the hair use dark and light red to add highlights and shadows, paint the horns using a desaturated dark brown, in a new layer add other lighter and darker tones to give it volume to the horns, I began to paint small sparkles of light in the water to give a little more realism.
I took care of applying more shadows and lights to the water until it looked a little more realistic, I continued applying several skulls floating in the water near her and behind her, finally I applied more details of lights and colors to the image in general, thus creating more intensity to the drawing.
I really enjoyed making this idea, although it wasn't easy I feel it was worth the effort, I hope you like it.

Muchas gracias!
Excelente @alexa.art! Noto el tono rústico, quedó muy bien! Me llaman la atención los ojos de misterio y el agua justo alrededor de ella, muy bien lograda, más el fondo que esta increíble. Un gran saludo Alexa!❤️
