River Nymph
Today I had some free time and I wanted to draw a little, it's been a stressful day but good at the end of it all, I got a lot of inspiration to make this portrait with the colors I like the most, recreating River Nymph which I haven't drawn for a long time and to be honest, the first version I did of this card was not the best (at least for me) it looked a little creepy and not creepy in the good way hahaha, but it's been a while, today I wanted to capture her essence in a nice portrait full of many cold tones, highlighting a lot the feature that I love to exaggerate which are the eyes, hope you like this version.
I made the sketch and started to choose the colors, this time a lot of blue tones and some purple for the ears, in a new layer I added more tones so the skin would have more shape, then I took a hard brush and started to mix the colors, I finished giving it more softness using a diffuse brush to get a cleaner result, for the hair, I subtracted the color of the original card only changing a little the tone making it more opaque.
I added highlights and shadows to the hair for a more realistic result and then painted her necklace with purple, I followed with the clothes, which I wanted to keep the same as the original card, although this time I didn't want the clothes to stand out too much since it was a portrait, I painted the headband on her head and played a bit adding this kind of purple blush on her cheeks, I wanted a simple background, so I opted for a light colored background adding some blues and purples and a bokeh effect, I finished adding lights in the eyes, nose, lips and other specific parts that I wanted to highlight, plus I did some image editing, deepening the colors.

I can see that when you're having a stressful day, drawing and creating your projects from the art relaxes you. Nicely done with the blue and purple hues. I like your still pose of the River Nymph facing forward instead of in a pose.
Thanks for sharing. Take care.
