Human Form

Long a staple of artists, the human form offers many challenges to the artist. I have experimented from time to time with the subject.

 There is something about film grain that lends itself to this type of work.I can create grain in Photoshop, but real grain is magical, as you don't know what will happen until the print is in the fixer.





My normal use of shadows, I tend to use shadows more than many photographers.





 




Finally my most recent study.  I wanted the final image to look like a cross between a photo and a sketch.
