I was asked today to share some very academic work based on the drawing theory of Chiaroscuro. The play of light and dark.
These pieces are from classes that drastically changed my approach to art. How I see the world. And how I have made every pieces since then.
My personal style does not reek of academic rendering, more of a love for line and appreciation for that energy. Every lesson is valuable in your own Practice.
