Good evening, friends. Today I wanted to use tones that remind me a lot of chocolate, coffee, and earth. A portrait with brown tones that I find very beautiful and melancholic. The eyes were quite complicated this time, I don't know why. I feel like I drew them smaller than I usually do, and that made me paint them differently. However, in the end, I realized that the eyes were conveying a bit of exhaustion, and that's exactly how I felt at the time I drew them. Perhaps I'm subconsciously reflecting myself in this drawing, haha. I hope you like it.
I sketched and began painting. For the skin, I used light and pale tones, but with very accentuated shadows and slightly stronger browns. On a new layer, I added more colors, giving the face a better shape, and then I began mixing these colors with an oil-based texture brush and high opacity, as I wanted to maintain a high level of texture and very visible brushstrokes. I detailed the eyes by painting the eyebrows and eyelashes, then chose a dark brown for the hair.
Add highlights to the hair to give it shape and then paint the background with tones similar to those used on the entire skin, I accentuated the cheeks and nose a little more by adding a dark reddish color and finished by adding highlights, drawing tears and making a slight color adjustment.

The tears at the end are such a nice emotional touch.
Thanks alot!
The eyes are really asking me for help. She looks like she has a lot of things to say. Maybe you can put this in some of the art museums because it can catch the attention of the viewers. ❤️
Wow! thanks alot I'm glad to know that I managed to convey the nostalgia I wanted for this drawing ❤❤💔
