Song to the Soul

Good evening people, I hope you are very well, today I want to share with you a little freestyle work where I decided to continue testing some brushes of the program (Krita), which lately I'm giving a lot of use and soon I hope to launch a great work in full body style perhaps, with the help of the incredible tools that this program gives us. Here I wanted to represent a girl whom I decided to call Luismar, who is relaxing in a bar or disco while listening to good music in the background with a theme that captivates her in the deepest part of her heart:

PROCESS

The first thing for this drawing was to find a pose for Luismar's character in which it will be noticed that she was in a bar, for this I decided to choose a pose of her sitting a little bit like half side looking at the music; after having the sketch ready I started to choose colors to build Luismar. For the skin I used a medium tone, for the suit or long dress I used a blue with a tendency to greenish tones; also for the hair I varied and used a reddish brown that I liked a lot and I thought it would look great.

With the base colors ready the next step was to give shape to each one of those colors so that the different parts of the character would come to life, for the skin I created a good volume with varied tones, then the blush of the cheeks would be the ideal touch to get a good realism; I achieved this with a scattered brush or airbrush which I then blurred lightly. After the eyes I wanted them to be very striking, and for this I decided to create them with a navy blue that I liked a lot, little by little I was giving details to the whole face including the lips and eyelashes.

I gave the dress a somewhat elegant shape and texture, I wanted to make a dress with very smooth fabric with some folds and minimal wrinkles to give it the realism I was looking for; I was able to achieve this with a flat brush (KRITA) which also prints a little spatial texture with each stroke. For the hair the only thing I did was to scale a little the colors towards brighter and reddish tones; I wanted to do something not so complicated for short hair because I thought it would look much better that way. Then with a split end brush of the program I was able to create open hair strands with which I achieved good relief for the hair; I really liked this brush and I will use it a lot in the future.

Finally I arrived to the section of the stage, where as I said before I had the idea that it was a kind of Bar or Discotheque, I decided to create the background thinking about this and therefore I dedicated myself to create it to my imagination based on the discos that I have visited in my life; I gave shape to the circular chair where Luismar would be seated, and I gave it a quite padded appearance in intense red tonality. Then I dedicated myself to build a little bit to the background wall with a very deep blue and I decided to add texture to that wall too, this I did with one of the special brushes of (Krita) and I think it looks very cool; and finally I just applied a little layer effect to create a dim light in a little pink tone like the ones that are always in the discotheques.
