Today I drew, and although I wasn't really in the mood, I was surprised by how quickly I finished this drawing and how much I liked it, despite its simplicity. I wanted to paint with the soft brush today, like I used to, because it leaves a nice, smooth finish, especially around the edges of the skin. This drawing was originally going to be less dark, but while I was painting, I changed things. I decided to draw white eyes, which I love, and use desaturated, dark colors. I hope you like it.

I started my sketch, and as you'll notice, I initially painted normal eyes. However, when I began adding colors to the skin and other areas, I liked using a gray base for the eyes and shaping them until they looked like white eyes. For the skin, I mostly used medium brown tones. In the highlighted areas, I used cream and beige colors. On a new layer, I added more colors to better define the entire torso and then began blending them, resulting in a smooth, visibly soft skin. For the hair, I used very dark brown.

I changed the background to white; after trying several colors, white was the one I liked best. Then I started adding highlights to the hair, especially on the left side. To give the eyes more depth, I painted around them with dark brown and also added veins in the under-eye area. I darkened the skin a bit more so the white background would stand out even more, and finally, I highlighted the eyes, nose, and lips.
