Wow, it's been a long time since I've drawn or put much effort into anything. Today I felt like unwinding a bit with some painting, and it was quite satisfying. Sometimes we forget to do the things that make us happy, but when we return to them, it's wonderful. This time, I wanted to create a blurred yet luminous effect. I always try to give my drawings a touch of nostalgia, and I especially like this one. The colors, the slightly off-kilter tones, the eyes—everything seems so warm and beautiful. I hope you like it.

I made the sketch and started painting the skin with fairly warm and dark colors. On a new layer, I added more colors to fully shape the skin and changed the background to a dark color to better guide me on how to handle the colors and shadows. Then I blended all the colors with a hard brush and went over it with a soft brush to give the skin that smooth finish.

Next, I painted the eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair. I wanted to create very tousled, wavy hair in a dark brown color with small light brown highlights. I started adding depth and more color to specific areas like the lips and cheekbones, and I also added highlights to the eyes, lips, hair, nose, and shoulder. I finished by making a slight color adjustment and adding a blurring/brightening effect to achieve that dreamy look.
