Fanart Ellie | The last of us
The last of us is a game which I met thanks to my husband, three years after its release was when I just began to immerse myself in this story, there are few games that I really like but this made a big difference, because the story, the gameplay and the tension that builds up during the hours of play are incredible, now in 2023 The last of us sounds a lot again, thanks to the HBO series, you don't know how excited we are every Sunday to see a new chapter, which, although I already know the story, I find the way in which they have represented everything in the series very similar to the game quite impressive.
For all this that I have told you, I felt quite inspired to make a Fanart of Ellie, this portrait is one of my favorites of hers, she is an older and ruder Ellie, in the second part of the last f us, which I did not have the opportunity to play, but I did see a gameplay where I know what happens and I liked it a lot.
I have made the portrait quite similar, but changing the color palette, giving it a lighter tone and adding a background that simulates these mushrooms/virus attached to the wall, in a blurred and out of focus way since I wanted the attention on Ellie's face, it was quite difficult because i change the tones and making them fit well was not an easy job, apart from drawing the nose and mouth, I don't usually work much with these exaggerated expressions, but it was quite cool and I really enjoyed it.
I started the sketch for it took a long time, meanwhile I was thinking about what colors to use, in this case I wanted to go for warm tones since I imagined an atmosphere that gave the sensation of heat or that something nearby is burning, I began to place the colors using mostly browns and oranges, I painted the base of the hair and the clothes and in another layer I began to give details, starting with the eyes and then the rest of the face, for this I applied more shades between oranges, yellows and browns, creating more shadow on the left side.
I created another layer where I would blur the skin a little more to give it that softness that I was looking for, I painted the eyebrows and eyelashes, in the eyes I did not give many details to make it look a little more natural, I added a lighter brown to the hair creating reflections on the side right, which is where the light hits the most, for the clothes I used different shades between orange and green and I didn't give it so many details either, now I had to draw the blood running down the face, for this I used a fairly dark red to match all the color palette of the image, then I started to paint drops of blood randomly on the face, varying between light red and dark red, for this point I kept giving details to the teeth, since the position it have is quite difficult and if I did bad lighting looked like she had broken teeth lol, after several minutes of struggling I was able to make the shape of the teeth a bit better.
I painted a background with light brown that would help to give this warmer atmosphere, then it occurred to me to start making lines like veins, representing the mushroom of the game, for this I used beige and different shades of green and yellow, I darkened the background a little more and I started to paint some sparks of fire near Ellie's face, finally I applied a color adjustment to the image creating more intensity and shadow on the left side.
