“Hope” es una obra que hice inspirándome en esa esperanza que siempre se mantiene viva a pesar de los malos momentos, a pesar de sentirte derrotado, estas hermosas aves representan esa esperanza y esa libertad que algún día logramos obtener, quise realizar este dibujo con un toque realista y a la vez surrealista además de usar trazos muy rústicos en los bordes, para dar una apariencia de oleo sobre todo en las aves.
what's up guys? I hope you are very well, today I present you my last illustration which I had been doing for days, finally today I was able to finish it, I really loved the result, this time I was inspired by white birds I wanted to combine them in a beautiful portrait and as almost always I like to use the sky in the background, besides that it is quite related to the theme of the drawing.
"Hope" is a work that I did inspired by that hope that always stays alive despite the bad times, despite feeling defeated, these beautiful birds represent that hope and that freedom that we reach some day, I wanted to make this drawing with a realistic and at the same time surreal touch as well as using very rustic strokes on the edges, to give an oil-like appearance, especially in the birds.
With the idea already in mind, I made my sketch and began to paint using a fairly pale skin tone palette, her hair would be red at first but I decided better to make it dark and make her skin stand out even more, I wanted to make her hair with a hairstyle different so I painted these little strands attached to her face forming waves, little by little I was giving more texture to the skin and blurring each color to form her face and torso perfectly.
At first I had painted his eyes using white and gray tones, however I tried a new layer with an “overlay” setting and painted his eyes using red tones, it looked very beautiful in my opinion, so I drew some veins using red colors, purple and yellow, apply more realism to her hair using shadows and lights of the same shade of brown and draw this kind of makeup that covers the center of her face and mouth, then paint the birds and for the feathers I use a feather brush that I have installed in Photoshop, multiply these layers to create three feathers on each side, paint some blood where these feathers are supposed to come from.
As I told you, I really like to apply sky backgrounds in my drawings, so this time I did it and put a little blue just behind the feathers so that they wouldn't get lost mixing with the white clouds, I applied more details to the drawing like shadows and lights, a little more rough strokes around this girl, and the birds, finally apply a color, contrast and saturation adjustment to the drawing, to make it even more intense.
There are many close-up details that I love, such as his eyes and his face in general, as well as these beautiful birds, and since they cannot be seen well in the main image, I will leave you some cuts that I made in Photoshop so that you can appreciate them more closely.

I love your art, by any chance do you take a career related to it? Keep reaping successes. Cheers!
Thank you! I have not taken any career I only draw because I like it and I have learned alone 😅
Esto es, vaya o.o adoro tu arte o.o qué pulcro y detallado, no tienes un canal en Youtube? Disfrutaría viendo tu proceso artístico, además que tomaría bastante nota, no has pensado hacer diseño de personajes de fantasía medieval? No dudo que quedarían preciosos con tu estilo, me recuerda a ese género y es justamente mi favorito ❤️
Holis 🥰 la verdad no tengo canal de youtube, muy pocas veces me grabo porque siempre es un problema con la app para grabar XD Y si lo he pensado! pero siento que aun me falta un poco para eso 😅
Chalé, entiendo, si dibujas en Ibis Paint de vez en cuando, esa app suele grabar solo el proceso artístico uwu pero es solo por si un día te gustaría intentarlo nwn pero realmente sigue así con tu arte 💗
Gracias!! dibujo en photoshop el programa que uso me ha echo perder muchos videos :( pero probablemente en un futuro lo intente 😊
