Hello Folks!!
In Mexico, death is personified by a woman, many people celebrate the day of the holy death by painting their faces in the shape of a skull.
The Christian and Catholic churches are opposed to being awarded the title of "SAINT" because the rites with Santa Muerte are often associated with rituals and spells, having a more esoteric component.

This is the process of creating my illustration:
The Tools:
- Mechanical Pencil.
- HB Leads.
- Charcoal Pencil.
- Difusser.
- Brush.
- Moldable Eraser.
- A4 Opaline 300G.
Step by Step
As always I start making a template or sketch of the drawing with the hb pencil.
Then I drew on its faces the marks and ornaments of the skull with the charcoal pencil.
Then I began to shade her pale face using charcoal and graphite powder with the help of the brush.
I filled the holes in his eyes with graphite powder to then be able to make the shade and volume of his eyes painted with the charcoal pencil, also erasing a little with the moldable eraser I made some glitters.
After finishing the face I made the shadows of the lower part, so that it was darker inside the tunic, I made very dark shadows on much darker elements.
Nex,t I illustrate details on the hood with the charcoal pencil and a lot of patience.
I finished the right part of the illustration making very dark shadows on the tunic, all this with the pencil of charcoal and dust.
To finish, I made more details on the side of the tunic where clearly hits the light.
This is the Final Art!
After many hours drawing the details I could finish it and share it with you, I hope you like it!.
Until the next time!
