The shadow

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 (see the twitter link for the gif below the video since there were technical problems with niume.) The work is based on the drawings shown below and was 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)
