Sugarskull Sketch Makeup Tutorial

Description

I know there are thousands of designs of the day of the dead Mexican skulls or sugar skulls out there. I'm a fan of these creations, but if you look closely, all are very similar and the techniques used are almost identical. I wanted to create a different design. My concept is an artist drawing on paper a Mexican skull with pencil, but in this case in the face. The way this is "drawn" is by the pencil technique called "Cross Hatching" which is a cross-hatched drawing a series of diagonal lines and then other lines that cross. Darkness or a shadow is created according to the spaces left between the lines. These crossed lines in the distance the eyes see it as light variations. So instead of blurring shadows, I crossed lines to create light and shadows.

CASTELLANO:
Reconozco que hay miles de diseños de maquillajes de calaveras mexicanas rondando por ahí. Soy admiradora de estas creaciones, pero si uno se fija bien, todas son muy similares y las técnicas aplicadas son casi idénticas. Quería crear un diseño distinto. Mi concepto es, un artista dibujando en papel una calavera mexicana con lápiz, pero en este caso en el rostro. La forma en que esta "dibujado" es mediante la técnica de lápiz llamada "Cross Hatching", que es un tramado cruzado, dibujando una serie de líneas diagonales y luego otras líneas que la cruzan. Se obtiene una mayor oscuridad según la separación que se deja entre líneas. Estos tramos cruzados, a lo lejos, los ojos lo ven como variaciones de luz. Así que en vez de difuminar sombras, hice tramos cruzados para crear luz y profundidad.
