🎨 Contrast - A quick lesson!

This relates to

& his recent question about the hair in his Marilyn portrait.

I mentioned how adding dark shading next to light areas, can create an edge & actually make light areas look brighter. (Check his portrait post for my full advice).

I'd like to point you here to something people don't always pay much attention to - the background.

Look at the ? box in the top left.

I'd like you to notice how I used light against dark & dark against light, as a way to bring contrast to that area & make that block appear to pop within the design.

Contrast is key!

Who would like me to critique a piece of art or tattoo? You have to be brave & step up.

Critiques are a great way to grow if you really want to progress. Don't worry about what stage you're at. Let's just reach for that next level!

Drop a piece of art or tattoo here for us to see!
