Portrait study # 47

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great day! and for those time zones where it is already new year's a warm hug and best wishes. I'm here with you again to present my latest work for this year in my series of portrait studies.

It is about the search to develop my own style of illustration where I work on integrating analog and digital media achieving a mixed media work. As always for this series I have taken the reference image from pinterest, a huge source of inspiration for multiple creative areas.

The grayscale drawing I have done by hand and once finished I have scanned it at a resolution of 300dpi and then cleaned and colored it in the digital tool Phothoshop. The pencil drawing technique is applied by superimposing frames that help to fit in a first phase and defining the volumes and the areas where the lights are located.

A little of the process.

For the coloring this has been applied by overlapping layers, starting from a fairly light tone corresponding to the lights, and then with darker tones I define the shadows to give volume to the image. Helping me with the base drawing leaving the line art evident, I seek a harmonious integration between drawing and coloring, a technique similar to that used in the illustration of comics, where I have strong influences as I am a big fan of comics.

I share with you the link of the reference image.
