Portrait study # 38
Hello friends, I hope you are having a good weekend, I am back with you to continue sharing my work. After a period of not being active in this community I have taken a breath and the decision to continue working for this platform.
I have decided to continue with my series of portrait studies, where I have set out to portray faces from the Internet. The site I use to find reference images is called Pinterest, surely known to many here, as it is a huge library of references for multiple creative areas.
The technique used for this drawing is mixed media, I made the drawing in grayscale in pencil on cardboard, then I scanned it at a resolution of 300dpi on a printer scanner.
Finally I cleaned it up and adjusted the gamma and exposure values in Photoshop.
A little bit of the process.
The process of creation of the drawing could be divided in 3 main phases, in the first one I draw a linear drawing without valuing yet. I place with soft lines the main elements of the image taking care from early in the drawing that this one has coherence with respect to the model that is being used as reference.
In the second phase I dedicate myself to locate with a medium gray the zones of valorization to give volume to the drawing, I sharpen a little more the pencil for the zones with more shadow and I use the white of the paper for the lights leaving it uncovered without scratching with the pencil.
In the third phase I highlight the darker areas of the drawing and the details that give distinction to a face, the eyes, the eyelashes, the eyebrows, the nose contour, the nostrils, the hair.
Here is the link to the reference image.

Soon I will be sharing a brief tutorial on how to color a handmade drawing in Photoshop, I am also open to answer questions or give tips for those who are starting to draw can continue to improve faster.

Thank you for describing your mixed portrait work with all its techniques. I really like the highlights and shadows. Her hair looks very natural. I like that the lines of her chin are both clear and soft. Good portrait :)
