The waiting
Hello friends, I hope you are very well.
For some time now I have been adopting a lot to make realistic or semi realistic portraits with very soft texture simulating real painting, it is a style that I am falling in love with more and more and that I plan to continue applying more often, something that I love about this finish is that I am trying to make the painting effect to be seen more than everything in the edges of the silhouette and in the background, I feel that it looks very nice this way and today I just finished this portrait applying exactly this same technique with the help of a hard brush and a low opacity, this time I wanted to make a very long hair with movement covering the torso, a look of deep black eyes that at the same time look something nostalgic, I really enjoyed doing this drawing and I fell in love with the final result, I hope you like it.
I did the sketch, from the beginning I wanted to do something with long and abundant hair, since many of my drawings I do with short hair and lately I'm feeling love for long hair too, I worked with a skin color palette of desaturated browns, some beige and white, I applied the colors on the face creating lights and shadows and then I added a new layer where I put more shades to finish forming the face, I mixed all the colors with a hard brush and a medium opacity to leave some texture on the skin, after I had the whole face ready, I painted the hair with dark brown.
Then I took some light browns and desaturated oranges to give light to the hair and also give it movement, drawing strand by strand, it occurred to me to add a little red, so I drew a kind of flowers behind her head, I also started to paint the background with some brown brush strokes around this time with a low opacity to blend very well all the colors and give that painting effect. I wanted to give more drama to her expression so I drew some shadows near the eyebrows that simulate a frown, then I added some points of light in some areas of the face and eyes, as always at the end I edited the image to my liking, this time adjusting a little the saturation and contrast.
