In the darkest
Hello! I hope you had a nice day, today I want to share a drawing that I started last night and finished this morning, something a little different from what I've done recently, because today I wanted to do a kind of dark Queen, for this drawing I was inspired by a drawing I did a long time ago when I just started drawing on Tablet, at the time this drawing seemed beautiful HAHAHAHA, but obviously now I see it and it makes me laugh and a little embarrassed.
Although I am ashamed, this is already in my blog two years ago so it doesn't matter haha, but I was guided a little by this drawing to make a more current version and obviously changing many elements that could be much better than the result I had at that time, this helps me to motivate me when I feel exhausted or with artistic blocks, I am very encouraged to see the change I have had in the last 3 years since I am part of Hive, I will always be very grateful because thanks to Hive I could fulfill a dream I had since I was a child which was to draw and make a living from it, I could buy my Tablet and start to create and learn more every day until today that although I feel I can give more, I am satisfied and I take comfort in knowing that I like my style and that others like it.
I hope you like this new version.
I started the sketch and hid some layers with possible details that I would like to add, since I still didn't decide which one I could choose, I thought about making accessories similar to the drawing I made two years ago, but the truth is that I didn't like it very much, so I decided to change the accessories.
Once my sketch was ready I started to paint, using a dark pink skin color as a base, in a new layer I started to add more colors, giving little by little shape to the drawing, the truth was not very hopeful at the beginning because I felt that the position was a little strange, but after painting the skin I could see everything much better. For the eyes I wanted to avoid making them red as in the previous drawing and leave them in white, because the eyes in white are much more shocking at least to my taste.
I painted the hair with a dark brown and started to give it light reflections with orange and light brown, the clothes were a bit improvised if I'm honest, because I wanted to make the bust uncovered as I did in the first drawing but I didn't like the idea, so I took a flat brush and started to paint randomly and it came out a pretty nice top hahaha, I painted some makeup falling from the eyes and a little on the forehead, in the center of the forehead I drew a black half moon, and I started to paint a crown, this time I wanted to make a different crown in my opinion, a little more aesthetic, I changed the background to a light color and painted the left side with a dark tone giving shadow on that side, I got a brush with a very interesting texture, I liked it a lot so I decided to use it giving texture to the background, as always I like to exaggerate with the illuminations so I highlighted the cheekbone part of the nose and eyes, finally I replaced the red lines of the first drawing with these red marks on the chest that look like claw wounds, I love this detail.
The truth is that I really liked to remember and be inspired by one of my old drawings to do something with the same vibes but totally different, I think I will do this more often soon.
