"Si la tierra tuviera sentimientos, si tan solo pudieramos sentir toda la destruccion que hemos creado, jamas hubiesemos llegado a este punto"
"If the earth had feelings, if only we could feel all the destruction we have created, we would never have reached this point"
Hello friends, today I am quite excited to show you one of my latest creations, the curious thing about this drawing is that it started as a totally different idea but then I liked taking it to another level, the truth is that I ended up liking it a lot and its meaning is quite beautiful, you can give the interpretation you want it can really be interpreted in different ways, I wanted to do it in a surreal style, surrealism is one of my favorites styles for art.
At first my drawing was going to have another theme, but when i start to painting hair other ideas come to my mind.
As you can see, my sketch was really simple, a girl with short hair, I was thinking of adding a lot of jewelry and a crown, I wanted to make a kind of princess, so I started painting her skin with slightly desaturated tones, using two brushes, to place the base colors I used a “chalk” brush filling each part where the shadow and the light would go, once ready I began to integrate the tones using a brush with an oil texture, I quite like this technique because everything does not have to be very perfect, we painted quite free and without worrying about edges or colors that are not well mixed with each other.
After painting her entire face and torso, i have a idea: paint the hair up as if a wind was making it rise, but later I realized that it would look better like trees coming out of her head, but that idea was discarded after it was it occurred to me to put the earth on it, so I painted her hair simulating forms of roots that support the earth, then I painted the planet using white and blue desaturated colors and different shapes to create a more realistic effect, for the background I chose a dark blue color and paint some points of light that would be the stars, add more details to her face with lights and shadows.
In the background I painted some curved stripes of a lighter tone that in turn gives a fabric effect, it would be the space and at the same time it looks like a fabric behind, finally apply the last touches of light in small parts of her face.
