Good evening my people, I want to present you a work where I focus on painting something free thematic and a little light; that's why I decided to create Crystall. I focused on painting Crystall as she sits on the edge of the ledge while she is sad or saddened by something that recently happened to her:
PROCESS
For the character I had in mind, I wanted to create a young girl, maybe a teenager, with a slight expression or aura of regret, especially in her face; I made soft and delicate strokes to create Crystall exactly as I had her in my head. Once I had created the sketch I wanted and had outlined it very well, it was there that I could begin to apply the colors and in this case I varied a little and decided to use the airbrush a lot; I painted the skin with a very light tone because I had thought to create a very blonde Crystall; I painted the clothes with an intense brown and the hair with yellow.
I started the skin with the airbrush to get a little more softness around the edges, but I also decided to use a lot of watercolor to give the skin more realistic volume from the inside out; I added a little shape and volume to the nose, eyelids and a little to the cheeks. Once I was done with the deep shadows and the occlusion of the skin, I could concentrate on detailing the face, I painted a light blush on the cheeks with a soft red, and then I continued with the eyes; this time I decided to paint the eyes in a very bright and bold green color, I painted the lips in a red similar to the cheeks so that they would match better.
Painting the clothes took me a little longer, normally I just airbrush the dresses lightly, but this time I wanted to add a little more detail and texture, so I used the watercolor brush a lot with different shades and low opacity so the colors on top would blend better with the colors below. I managed to mix and get a textured look for the dress, which I really liked; then the hair was a little easier to finish, I used an open-ended brush with 50% opacity, so it blended better with the base and the relief below.
For the last part I wanted to add some extra details to my drawing and finally I decided to create a nice necklace for Crystall, which as you can see I had not planned in the original sketch hehehe; here I did not invent too much and decided to play it safe and create the necklace out of shiny gold with a red gem right in the middle. Then what I had to do was to finish my work in a good way, and for this I did what I did to conceptualize or give shape to the open night; I created a small gradient between blue and orange to give the idea of the transition from evening to night, and I also added some clouds.
