Red – Portrait Art

I accidentally, actually alarmingly woke up early today because I heard water dripping. And that is the most effective alarm ever!

But it’s been like 6 hours and I haven’t found anything like that yet.

So I got a few things done and then I was just missing pastels. The only inspiration in my head was color red. I had to do a portrait with color red.

And then it began..

First of all tinted the paper red..

Then did a very rough sketch (forgot ears again)..

Then made those eyes.. because that’s what I know best..

Then contouring. Girls love it..

Lipstick..

Some more make up. At this point my back started hurting and a disaster struck. I was trying to dust off charcoal and it all came over the face. But there’s no art without disaster so I lightly brushed it off with a makeup brush.

well.. moving on

I defined everything and added a background.

So, here’s final result under different lights.

I still can’t call it complete there’s a lot that can be done but I was tired and ok with where it was.

Realized by the end that I forgot ears..again..

If my work had a theme it would be “women with big eyes and no ears”.

That’s all for now. Please free to give suggestion your feedback helps me grow.

Thanks 🙂
