Diego 💙 - Portrait practice

Hello! So since I'm back at drawing personal pieces I've started warming up with some portrait practice! I was very inspired by @/dealunart 's amazing art!

I am sharing some more of my process! This was pretty new for me. I am not very used to this level of rendering, so it was a challenge. (There are 2 different final versions)

As always, started with a very messy sketch and I put some flat colors. Then I add several layers (and as usual, I work on Photoshop):

- The first layer is for basic shades in a multiply mode using some purple-ish tone
- The second one for deeper shades (occlusion lights) with a similar color
- The third one is for light, and I use some overexpose mode. For this I use a dark yellow color (almost brown)

Then I adjust everything and I usually stop there, but I started painting on top of this base. It was very fun! 💙

I hope you like this little thingy!! I am so happy to see him with his Harper's badge T_T 💙
