Good evening, friends. I'm taking advantage of this vacation to start drawing more often. Lately, it hasn't been so easy because I've been a little mentally blocked, but after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to do a portrait that looked like a doll's face. Although I used very saturated colors at first, when I finished, I wanted to modify the tone a little by softening these colors that were too harsh on my eyes, but the change wasn't really that big. I'm also obsessed with the fact that this time the eyes feel a little strange to me, but I tried to fix them in various ways without success. Still, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and began painting. As I mentioned earlier, I used very saturated shades of yellow, red, and brown. In a new layer, I added more colors to give the face and chest better shape. I began to mix all the colors without going into too much detail, as I wanted to leave the skin textured, then I painted the clothes black.
Change the black clothes to red and add some shadows, paint the hair black and add some highlights with gray. Paint the bow in her hair using different shades of red to create volume. For the background, I tried several colors and didn't like any of them, so I decided to use the technique of subtracting colors from the skin and placing them in brushstrokes in the background. As a final touch, I added some highlights to areas I wanted to emphasize and finally edited the colors, giving them a slightly cooler tone.
