Female Portrait. Step by step process (R52_2019_N5)

Hi everyone. I hope all of you have started a nice week.
Finally the service electricity came back as an usual, after of 5 das of blackout at venezuela, the people here are a little bit paranoid and scared, but well I hope that everything goes better.

For this post I would like to show the artwork I was making when occur the blackout, I could not finish it until few days ago. As you know I am making this kind of art as a training to keep improving digital art skills. This time was a portrait art. Next I am going to explain how I made it.

1-I started making a simple sketch, it can be the most simple as you want it, is not neccesary be accurated in this step becauses is just a simple reference for the next steps.

2- I have one layer (sketch layer) and below it I applied a few layer for each color in flat: I mena One layer for skin color, another layer for eyes color, and go on. In this step I also added some shadows for skin character.

3- Some interesting in my process of work is I applied a gradient brown color to pink color onto sketch layer.

4- I merged all the character's layer colors at one one layer, after that I started the blend color process: added shadows and light and tried to degradate all these colors. So far it looks really nice. The most dificult thing was made the nose in this angle.

5- Is almost done. Here I redefined more the eyes and applied black color. Also I made a contrast beetwen background and main character painting the background more dark and adding a shining pink hair and finally it is completed.

I really liked how it turned out. Was an interesting practice this time.
