Hello dear Steemians!

I hope you are very well, in this post I want to show you an illustration that I made, for this illustration I used two programs; ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS6 AND ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6 and is an illustration of the singer Lana del rey, I hope you like it.

Use two programs, the reason for this is because I do not know how to use very well Adobe Illustrator I am new using it and I do not know the tools very well, however I used it to make strokes and their hair.

To start create a background, select the colors and use the gradient tool in DIAMOND MODE

Now that I have the background I will put it not visible to be able to work well with the illustration.

• I started making the eyes, the strokes are very soft and are very easy to do with the Brush tool. (Adobe Illustrator)

• Then I kept doing the nose and mouth
And I ended up doing the shape of his face and what his body would be like.

Color

1.- To begin coloring take a skin color and paint your entire face in a uniform color.

2.- Then I took the same skin color and I put a lighter tone and I started to create what would be the lights of his face.

3.- I did the same with the first skin tone I used, and I created a darker tone and I started to shade his face

4.- Paint your lips and I added a little light with the tool Superpose in Photoshop.

5.- I added a blue color to his eyes, I added some eyelashes to the bottom and painted his eyebrows a brown color.

If the strokes of the brush at the time of making the shadows and the lights on the skin are very visible, I recommend downloading paintbrushes Skin texture are great and will make your work look better.

You can also use the tools Overlay and Underexpose to improve lights and shadows

Hair

• For hair use the program ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR And ILLUSTRATOR

• With the program Photoshop I added lights and shadows to your hair

Clothes

For his clothes I added a bone color and with the tools overlay and under-expose I added lights and shadows

Finished!

So I finished my illustration of Lana del rey, I hope you liked it, regards dear Steemians!
