Sorrow
Happy Saturday friends, today I want to share a black and white portrait that I finished recently, this time I wanted to use only grayscale as it is a very interesting technique, it allows to understand better the facial features and that's why I chose a portrait, I really liked how it turned out, I made big eyes, a fine face and a penetrating look, I hope you like it.
I wanted a portrait but that could look very striking despite being in black and white, so I made big eyes, small nose and thin face, I began to paint using different grayscale, applying lights and shadows, this time I wanted a deep look so I darkened a lot the edge of the eyes, but I kept the eye color of a light gray, almost white, in a new layer I added more tones creating the face completely, I mixed the tones of the face to finish completely the skin, for this I used an oil brush that allowed me to soften the tones but at the same time leave some texture, for the hair I used a dark gray.
The skin still had too much texture, so I used a diffuse brush with low opacity to soften it a little more, I painted some black lines in the right eye, and in the center of the lips, then I started to paint details in the hair to give more realism, adding dark and light grays, even pure white and pure black, I put light details in the face to give it more life, then I took care of the background making a simple background with dark and light tones, finally I intensified the background, this time I didn't make any adjustments to the image or editing because I was happy with this result.
