I missed that nostalgic, self-destructive, dark style that has always represented me, so today I made a portrait with those vibes... I was really impressed by how great the eyes look, I loved painting them and I loved the final result. You can see a tired, exhausted, and sad look at the same time. This portrait really represents me a little bit today, as I've been quite sad/exhausted and feel like the days have been very strange lately. Anyway, I hope you like it.

I made my sketch and started painting the skin. This time, I wanted a contrast between reddish and olive green tones, as this combination gives a rather terrifying yet nostalgic look. I feel like it's the kind of color palette used in the movie Evil Dead, which I really like, haha. On a new layer, I added more colors to finish shaping the entire face and began to blend. This time, I wanted a fairly realistic result with a smooth finish, so I used the diffuse brush with medium opacity to blend everything together.

I played around a lot with reddish tones around the eyes, and although I thought so much red was a bit exaggerated, I couldn't resist adding more and fell in love with that look because to me it seems deep and full of pain. I also painted the hair with brown tones and a very subtle olive green highlight, changed the background to a desaturated aquamarine blue, and added highlights to the eyes, nose, forehead, and lips to make them stand out. I finished by making a slight color adjustment to further enhance the colors.
