The creation of love
Hello community!
Today I wanted to try something different and it occurred to me to be inspired by a very beautiful work "The Creation of Adam" but doing it in my style and perhaps giving it another approach, the truth was that it was very difficult for me to achieve and think of a composition that would look good, but little by little I was building this beautiful work that I loved very much, I decided to represent the hands in a similar way where they approach with the tips of the fingers, in the center I drew a realistic heart covered with thorns and some small leaves, creating a warm environment with some reflections of light that give that semi-realistic appearance to the whole drawing, both hands were somewhat complicated to do, I'm not really an expert making hands, I confess that I suffer every time I do it but I'm excited when I finish and I see that it turned out beautiful, I hope you like the work and I would like to know what this art transmits to you.
For me it is the representation of love, a love that must go through many proofs
before making contact, a love that must fight against the thorns and that perhaps cannot be achieved, and perhaps the hands will never touch each other.
I started sketching my idea, I tried to make everything as delicate as possible, I wanted something quite nice and symmetrical, I drew some branches and leaves around the heart, it occurred to me that the branches would get entangled in the fingers, thus creating the connection between these "soulmates" to start painting I placed a gray base background and thus work a little more comfortably, then I chose the color palette, I chose skin colors with a slightly pink hue, I began to fill in each part of shadow and light, I also applied beige and light brown, for the heart use a red base tone.
I start to forming the hands first, so I began to mix the tones in a new layer, giving more shape to each part of the hand, for this I used the brush with an oil texture this time, since I wanted a somewhat rustic texture but without exaggerating, then paint mixing the tones very well and with a low opacity so as not to make as much texture.
Once I was satisfied with the hands, I started to paint the heart, I used many pink, red and white tones to paint the heart, I also painted it with the oil textured brush, I really wasn't very delicate painting it and it turned out quite well, it looks very realistic, in a new layer paint the branches with thorns surrounding the heart, for this use dark brown and a lighter brown to give some light in some parts, for the branches on the fingers and the leaves, use a dark green with a bit of desaturation since I didn't want a very striking green, for the background I applied a sky with stars and adjusted the color to an orange tone.
To finish, I painted the small leaves, and some flashes of light coming out behind the heart. Finally, all that remained was to do a color adjustment to the entire image to add more depth and intensity.
I love how the heart looks so much, that's why I also want to share the image a little closer, I hope you liked it, I did it with a lot of love, see you later.
