photo editing to produce shadows contrast brilliance highlights etc with poses is useful

'Preserving Life' Diptych Oil on aluminium Painted from life I wanted to read the line between portrait & still life by using a skull and facial cast as my subject matter 😊 really enjoyed the play of light on both when using a Grisaille approach. Also in Halloween when surrounded by skeletons its easy to forget each one represents a person, a life and death 💀

Hi there from Autumn Fall in Wales Wales, UK. This scared me doing it ! ( charcoal sight-size study of life-size human skull ) Not sure whether should’ve erased lines to ‘lose ‘ outline of skull on right side…

My character design: The Autumnal. Attached a couple of closeups as well.

I did a blacked out skull painting for this challenge. When the room is dimly lit you have to stand in a certain angle to see the skull. The paints used are acrylic mars black and stuart semple black 2.0
