Good evening everyone, today I am participating again in the @Splinterlands art contest, this time with a card that I like very much for the cold colors with which I can work, Ice Pixie.
This time I wanted to represent her in portrait, making the face very close and with details that can give us a clue of which character I am recreating, I wanted to make the whole drawing with very cold tones and painting the right side of the face simulating that it is "frozen" some crystals coming out of the face and shiny cracks surrounding all this part, as I love the shines I did everything with a lot of illumination, in spite of being a portrait and being something that I love to do and that is very easy for me, this time I felt that it was quite difficult because of the level of detail that I wanted to give, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch on a dark blue canvas and then I began to apply the colors on the face, lilac, pink and light blue tones, then I added a new layer where I applied many more colors to give more shape to the face, continue blending and mixing all the colors until I had a smooth and soft skin texture, I started to take care of the fingers, doing the same procedure I did with the face, the fingers were like painting another face, it took me a lot of time to give a correct shape and not look like sausages hahaha.
I painted eyebrows, eyelashes and the ears, then I started painting the hair, for this I painted a gray color with a very light blue tone, then I added lights and shadows to give more movement and shape to the hair, I continued painting the crystals coming out of the face, then I painted the base of these crystals darkening a little bit to give that illusion that they are coming out of the skin, I also painted some cracks with light blue, painted the nails and then I wanted to add a little blue color on the right side of the face to give a cooler tone to that side and on the left side I darkened a little, I added some lights on the face to highlight the nose, eyes and other areas, finally I made a color adjustment, leaving the image with a greater intensity.
