Hi everybody.
As I promise, my last artwork is done. I decided to make 1 digital illustration per week for 1 year as a way to improve as an artis. This is my first entry for this incredible challenge that I hope to reach.
In fact 2 years ago I made the same but I only reached 42 illustrations of 52 that I should arrive (But it was not a bad number, is'nt it?). In my experience I grow a lot making it!
This challenge is not an personal invention, I saw this challenge from a great artist called Marcos Raya Delgado that explain the better way to improve as an artist is push yourself making art. I suggest to all of you check his website where he explain techniches to learn digital tools for illustrators. His website is only in spanish: www.dibujarbien.com
Well, here I am going to explain below step by step how I made this recent illustration.
1-I started to make a sketch. Very simple and rough just for a initial reference.
2-I added two different layer behind of sketch layer. These layers was for base color of skin and hair.
3-At the skin layer I started to apply some shading and tones.
4-I added colors on eyes and I made some adjustment on right eye of character.
5-Here I selected two different tones for hair. Purple degraduate to blue-gray tone. I also added some shadows. If you see the selection of this tones is make a contrast between skin (orange-warm color) and hair (purple-blue cold color).
6-At sketch layer I added some colors. Generally a sketch is black but when I reach this step is neccesary to avoid black tones for go further and made a better blend colors. Before to go to next step I "flat" or combine all the layers colors in only one layer.
7-Here is time to blend the tones selected and add light, details and redefine face shapes. This step need a lot of patience.
8-Finally I finished the skin render. Now I decided to work on hair details adding shadows and light.
9-This last step was keep adding more hair details, more shadows and lights. It tooks me more work than skin but at the end it worth. Finally it is complete.
I hope everybody have enjoyed this artwork and how was made it. Keep follow my step to see if I am going to complete my challenge (what do you think? could be possible?)

Felicitaciones @abrahmatan por tu hermoso trabajo, es increíble y maravilloso encontrar tanto talento Venezolano en Steemit. Saldremos de esto muy muy pronto y celebraremos todos los que pudimos soportar hasta el final! Felicitaciones por tu voto de @curie .
Muchas Gracias @leilanyarevalo por tu inspirador comentario. Correcto en Venezuela hay tanto profesionales talentosos en diferentes areas, lamentablemente muchos se han visto en la necesidad de escapar del país para escapar e la pobreza y buscando mejores oportunidades. Confio al igual que tu, que saldremos de esto mas temprano que tarde! Un fuerte abrazo! Mis mejores deseos para ti!
Gracias a ti, orgullosa de todos los jóvenes que aún permanecen en el país. El sacrificio de todos dará frutos! Un abrazo

I love this step-by-step animation at the end of the article, which quickly guides the lazy readers about everything scrolled above. Simply amazing :)
I have also an offtopic question - could you please write something about this cryptocurrency project called Petro ? I heard that it is some kind of Venezuelian solution for the current situation, but also heard many rumors about scams behind it.
Art is always life. Awesome artwork you have there, and among all,, I love your choice of colours. Choosing colour in art is always different but you nailed it
