Today I finished with a drawing I started a couple of days ago in which I was in a dark mood, I wanted to do something different than a portrait, I always focus on making faces but from time to time I feel the need to experiment with other things, this time the protagonist were the hands, chest and a very nice blood red color, I felt very good painting this and adding more and more details to the hands and reddish tones that I find beautiful in the skin. I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and began to paint the skin with pale tones, in areas where I wanted warmer tones I placed pinks and soft reds, then I added two new layers where I began to add in each of them new colors giving better shape to the entire torso and hands, I began to mix the colors leaving a more realistic result but maintaining textures and look like paint, paint the hair and the choker, I also added more intense reds in the fingers.
I was undecided whether to paint the dress red or black, in the end I decided to make this whole drawing in reddish tones, to make it the main protagonist so I put a wine color as a base for the dress and then I began to draw many points of light red giving that effect of sequins, I painted the nails with a lilac tone in combination with dark reds, then I wanted to add marks to the chest and neck simulating bruises, I wanted to give more warmth to the drawing so I added a layer with a red color and so I managed to give a little more darkness, for a better finish I added lights, highlighted some parts of the hands, dress and nails, I finished making a slight adjustment of color.
