Queen of Crows portrait
Very good evening friends, today I wanted to choose one of the cards that I like the most aesthetically to recreate it as a portrait, Queen of crows is beautiful, the colors, the aesthetics in general seems perfect to me and that's why I wanted to do my best, this time I didn't want to make the crows, well, actually yes, but I tried and it didn't make much harmony with the background, so I chose to represent the crows with feathers falling around, I concentrated a lot on achieving a beautiful face, that was mesmerizing, something that cost me a lot of work were the lips, I love dark lips but I'm not used to paint them, normally I use very light pink tones but this time it came out as I expected, I feel it's a pretty cool representation and is just as I imagined, I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and started to choose the colors, this time a range of purple tones to match the background that I had planned to place later, I added the lights and shadows and as always I added a new layer where I started to combine more colors until I had the texture of the skin well formed, I started to mix all the tones leaving a skin that can be seen smooth, the hands took quite some time as usual, they are always the most complicated part of painting.
I placed a dark purple color but desaturated as a base for the hair and for the hat a more vibrant dark purple, I started to detail the hair adding light purple and lilac, and I also did the same with the hat but with more blue and pink tones, giving realism to the fabric of the hat, I also painted the golden triangle, changed the background color to a dark blue and then took brushes of rustic texture and began to apply purples, pinks and lilacs randomly, I tried to paint crows around but they were lost with the background and I didn't want to change the background because I liked it so much, so I decided to change the vision of the drawing and represent the crows with feathers floating around, then I started to add lights to the face and other areas that I wanted to illuminate a little more and finally I edited the image giving it more depth and an intense color with more blue hues.
