I feel that today I went a little out of my comfort zone, I wanted to do something different and I'm not sure if I really liked it, it all started with the idea of going back to that time where I drew surrealistic drawings, I imagined a big face with wings but honestly the final result did not look like that in my head, in the end the wings look like the fins of a sea creature or something like that hahaha, the face was something different to what I usually do, no matter how hard I tried to modify the face, it always looked strange, but it was too late to start again and maybe it's experience to do it better next time.
And even though I started this drawing a few days ago, I never saw any problem until today when I sat down at the computer to finish it. I made my sketch and started to paint the face at first I wanted to use warm tones and go for a more realistic skin finish but I don't know why I changed that, I ended up using cold tones, I applied lights and shadows and in a new layer I added more colors to shape the face completely, then I mixed the colors of the skin to leave a smooth finish, at the beginning I wanted the hair in a brown tone and I painted it in that color.
Today, when I came back to my drawing I wasn't convinced with the brown hair, I wanted the wings to be that color too and they would get a bit lost in the hair, so I decided to change it to a dark bluish grey, I started painting the wings that are supposed to connect to the ears and for some reason I wanted to make a kind of mix between the ears and the wings which ended up looking more like a fish fin instead of wings, I added a bit more color to the face and then I wanted to add light in the background, I used a light lilac color for that. Then I gave the final touches of lights in areas of the face that I wanted to highlight and a little color adjustment, I'm not really convinced with this drawing, it's weird and I don't know if I feel disappointed haha.
