Today's exercise is changing the lighting on Oak Man, that I first worked with two days ago, an image from Brian Froud's The Faerie Oracle. I drew it in pencil, heightened the contrast in Photoshop, printed several on cardstock and watercolor it. I made a relief sculpture of the image and lighted it from different directions, and today watercolored one of the prints using these shadows. I had to use white acrylic to change some of the highlights since the original drawing was shaded from a different direction, but that was not too much of a challenge. This was fun! maybe I'll make some of my own original sculpts and light them and try a drawing... I always find sculpture much easier than making up stuff with pencils. I really don't understand how some people can do that so easily.
