Reading Time: 2 minutes

We all have a shadow side, sometimes we balance it with our ‘light’ and sometimes it dominates us. We can’t deny it. I hoped to capture the shadow in this work and in a gif especially. The work is based on the drawings shown below and is based on a character from a film.

Here is a detail from the original pastel portrait, the full sized drawing measures approximately 30cm H x 42 cm W (scroll down for the full original drawing as well)
