Greetings Friends of Whaleshares!

I felt today inspired by the gypsies who have always promoted all that touches the mystic and the spiritual, which is why their readings on the tarot cards are taken into account. I took a little more time to do it because I did a lot of detail. I like this subject as a good scorpion that attracts me in all that is esoteric and mysterious. I emphasized the letter "Wheel of Fortune" because one of its meanings is "good luck".

I hope you like it!

3. In this step, I start coloring the drawing with the curtains by applying lines and shadows in black and dark pencil so that the curtains fold in specific areas. I apply the yellow color to give more light, then I apply all the red color. Details like the embroidery of the edges of the curtain make them with black pencil, dark brown, ocher and yellow.

5. Here, to get the shadow of the skin, I apply purple in the darkest parts, then the color of the skin to make it look like. The handkerchief colors it with turquoise green, light blue and dark green. Pink in fuchsia, pink and dark brown tones.

6. For the hair, I made a base with the orange pencil, then with the colors dark brown, black, light brown, terracotta red and orange, I made a lot of fine lines. For hands tones, use purple, light brown and skin color. Tattoos use a dark blue color. The ocher ring, yellow, black and stone color it in green. Paint the nails in black and purple. The eyes color them in dark blue, light blue, light green and for the shade inside the light gray eye.

7. Here, in this step, I wanted to add a mystical touch to the clouds in an old style, I made them with an extra fine black marker and a black ballpoint pen, using the technique of pointillism then the technique of sharpening the colors and to fade with the fingers tones ocher and white.

8. In this step, I made the edges of the Barajas in black and a red inner edge, where the name of the game is colored with the light blue pencil and the letters in black, the images of the letter are made with black pencil. The figures are an assistant knife trying luck, the second letter is that of the madman and the third is just a corner. To finish the letter, I also created a background with the same technique as used in the clouds with the ocher color and I gave it this vitange aspect.
