Hello friends.
I'm a little disappointed with today's drawing, but I also like the result. The title is because this drawing was actually meant to be a face emerging from sheets of paper, but it ended up looking like broken cement. I even wanted to do it in black and white because I thought it would make it easier to achieve that paper texture. When I realized I couldn't pull it off, I ended up giving it the wall texture, although I would have liked the face to blend in a little more with the surrounding rubble. I hope you like it.
I made the sketch and then began to paint, as I mentioned I used grayscale, applied lights and shadows and in a new layer I added more tones to give the face a better shape, then I began to mix the colors without giving too many details since I wanted to leave a rustic texture.
Then I began detailing all the pieces around the face and painting dark cracks. I further detailed each crack by adding thin white lines to give it volume. I also wanted to add a crack to the face, then added depth to areas I wanted to darken, like the eyes and nose. Finally, I added some light details to areas I wanted to highlight.

I know it would normally be sacrilege to "destroy" art, but have you considered scrunching this up to a ball, flattening it back out, then scrunching it back up again, and flatting it out again, then scanning it to introduce the texture, before the piece could be framed under glass?
I know that's a bit hard for a digital painting, but I am tempted (with your permission!) to print this out and attempt to do so myself! :D
Buenos días, es normal lo que sientes. Muchos creadores no están conformes con el resultado de sus obras y en ocasiones se autocritican demasiado mientras el mundo los alaba. No todo nos sale como desearíamos pero por accidente o por error, creamos nuevas obras que no nos satisfacen pero que llenan el corazón a los expectadores. En caso de no dejar escapar la idea con la textura del papel, puedes practicar pintar solo la textura, después pintar la obra que realmente deseas hacer y quizás pudieras exponer ambas pinturas juntas. Como La maja desnuda y La maja vestida de Goya. Solo, creo que tu obra es hermosa y cautivadora. Ánimo que el arte todo tiene solución porque somos los creadores de nuestros propios mundos. Muchas felicidades por deleitarnos con tus creaciones🎨🥳👏👏👏
