When the black and white tones abound, it is when the color stands out most. I love doing grayscale work, and adding a portion of color to make it stand out. This type of art offers a very attractive contrast to the eye. Moreover, if the drawing reflects the sensuality of a woman. As a special character, I added two pieces of CD in the place of the crystal of the sunglasses, and this is the result. I hope you like it.
Materials

Process

First of all, I drew the frame of the sunglasses to get an idea of the dimension of the woman's face. Then, with the care that should be taken when shading the skin, I used soft strokes to define each part of the woman's face.

The woman's lips were my priority. I spent enough time to add every detail, every shadow, every reflection of light, taking advantage of the whiteness of the page. The two upper teeth of the mouth, are a feature that I find very sensual in a woman. That's why I added them, and I could highlight them with the pronounced shadow of the inside of the mouth.

To finish the drawing, I gave shade to the rest of the features, and to the finger of the woman. Paying special attention to the shadow of the finger pressing on the skin of the face, and giving another attractive detail to the finish.

Having the drawing ready, I added the pieces of CD in the part of the crystals. This I did by cutting the part of the crystals from the drawing. Then, with a marker, I marked on the CD the shape of the crystals, and cut them to place them, and thus get the final result.

The colors that the CD offers when reflecting the light, are really captivating. I think I'll never get tired of working with this material. What do you think of the result? You can leave your comment and support me with your vote if you wish.
Thank you
!
I'm so excited to discover you!
I saw your brilliant mutant eye, Heterochromia iridum which lead me here.
I have been struggling with a drawing.
It's on canvas, and is currently just black and white. I had planned to use some acrylics too, maybe build it up with a wash of acrylic or coloured ink, I'm not sure... I'm a bit stuck.
I am stumped with the focal point which is an eye, which I thought I would portray as a shattered mirror. I'm sure that makes no sense sorry, but I would like to try this CD application.
Can you tell me how you did it? Is it really just cds cut to size and reflecting. Maybe I will try shards of cds. As you have disclosed the technique and shared creative commons can I assume it is OK to use this technique?
Hi. I'm happy to know that you liked my work. It is a pleasure. The Cds I cut to size, and I took the photo to the final result under a tree. Thus the reflections of light give a colorful effect like the one seen there. And of course you can use the technique. I have no problem. Any questions, you can consult me.
