Hi Steemians!

Welcome to my blog. Today I share a color drawing of a beautiful young woman's portrait and what inspired me to do this work is her hair, as it is very abundant and defined.

At first I saw it very difficult, I really did not want to draw it, but I decided to do it and it became a challenge, especially because during the process, I felt the urge to leave it, but something in me told me, that I would not give up, and now that I see it finished makes me feel very satisfied with the results. For this drawing I took 12 hours to do it

"The difficulties of life, can help improve our skills at work."

❢Materials I used:❢

Faber Castell Color Pencils, Paper-Mate and Prismacolor.

Cold paint: brown, white and yellow.

Brush N° 0.

Graphite pencil HB.

Sheet of white thread, dimensions 12,9X20,7 cm.

Draft.

✽Here I show the step by step of the drawing:✽

Step 1: Realization of the sketch. In this step I used the graphite pencil HB, so that the lines are very thin so that when you add the color does not stain,

Step 2: With pencils of pink and brown colors, I began to paint the skin, for the iris of the eye I added brown and black.

Step 3: I painted the nose and mouth, for the lips I used dark pink, a little brown for the shadows and black to define the line that separates the lips

Step 4: I finished painting the face.

Step 5: I painted the girl's arms with light pink and brown tones. In this step I added some lights to the face (around the eyes and on the lips) with cold white paint.

Step 6: In this step I made the freckles of the face and began to paint the hair. It was very complicated to paint the hair of the young woman, because I had to make strands of light hair over the dark places and since my colors do not have that capacity, I resorted to cold painting. First I painted the dark parts of the hair, detailing the places that go blond, then I mixed brown and yellow paint, and I was adding some parts on top of the black color. In this way I was able to make the loose hair lines.

Step 7: I finished painting the portrait with the other part of the hair, doing the same as in the previous step, painting the dark parts, detailing the light parts and painting with the cold paint.

Here I show the process in a GIF animation

I am learning new techniques, it is the first time I use cold paint in drawings with colored pencils, and it looks great in this work.

Note: cold paint, is a water-based paint with organic pigments and resins, especially for painting on ceramic, wood, cloth and general crafts. For the application of the product, you can use soft hair or hard bristle brushes, sponges, spatulas, among others.

I hope you liked this new drawing, I did it with a lot of effort to improve my skills. Thank you for reading, you can support my work with upvote, follow or refeem, I will be totally grateful. You can also leave your comments, I would love to know what you think of my work.
