Hello community I hope you are well, today I have decided to go back a little to my beginnings where I made (or at least tried) realism with a touch of nostalgia and mystery, the truth is I am very happy with the result, it has become one of my favourites drawings, I have always loved painting eyes, I feel that the eyes are the most important part of a face since it can easily reflect sadness or happiness, so for this opportunity I wanted to exaggerate the size of the eyes a little giving it a little more prominence, using desaturated and dark tones and playing a little with the light that this drawing would have, the change between the sketch and the final result is impressive, I hope you like it as much as I do.
I started with the sketch, to be very honest I was hating the sketch so much! But I still decided to paint it to see how everything would turn out, I applied some desaturated base tones on her face mostly in brown tones and some pale blues, I painted the hair dark brown but I still couldn't decide whether to leave the hair the same as the sketch or change it, for that reason I painted only one part at first, in a new layer I made the mixture of skin tones creating the shape of her face, I did this with an oil painting texture brush without being very careful since I wanted to see some strong strokes, I decided to paint her hair with some waves.
I painted her neck and chest giving it the correct shape, painted her eyebrows and added blue highlights to her hair, I loved how cute her lips looked and painted some blood coming out of them, it looked beautiful to me, I chose a dark background and keep giving some small details to the face.
Now I took care of giving a little more light to some parts of the face and especially to the eyes, they would look simply beautiful, create some points of light and paint with a little red around her eyes, giving an effect as if she I would have been crying.
It's been a long time since I painted huge eyes and such realistic skin, I liked this artwork too much.

This is one of my favorite art pieces of yours so far! I love it and the realism.
Hey! Thanks alot 👏🏻
is one of my favorites too 🥺
Fascinante @alexa.art! Me sentí muy identificada con eso que comentas de que te encantan los ojos, desde siempre fue lo que más me gustó pintar. Las miradas me encantan, se llevan mi atención porque dicen mucho de una persona y en mis diseños me gusta mucho poner rostros con miradas expresivas.
El dibujo te quedo fabuloso, admirable, muchas gracias y un gran saludo Alexa!❤️
Es que los ojos son una maravilla, la puerta del alma 🙌
Muchisimas gracias por leer mi post y comentar, saludos para ti tambien 🥰
