This is a style I had been wanting to do for a long time; for anyone who follows my art you'll know that I love high contrast type stuff, and so this one is no exception!
I really, really need to get a new camera; because it is so painful seeing the final piece in person - it looking really good - then taking a picture of it with my phone, putting it in the computer and all the sudden it looks terrible! The colors are all off, everything is off! So to make up for that I try my best to put it into photoshop and tweak the contrast, exposure, etc. In this case I went a step further and I "erased" the hands because even though the hands aren't there in my original, and it looks white on the paper, once I imported it it looked blue, so that wasn't going to work! So, if the hands look a bit off it is because I tried to use the eraser to actually make them white again!

Oh man, this is just so gorgeous!! I really love the shading and the shadow work. It's so awesome! The high contrast stuff is superb and the whole thing is just so well done. Man, I'm excited for the day when I would be able to make something like this. I have no doubt that I have tons to learn from you, brother!
Thanks! I just can't help myself when it comes to high contrast stuff; the black oil paint is what really makes it "pop", since that achieves a much darker black than graphite ever could. I'm gonna make a video on that at some point, it's called "dry brushing".
Oooohhhh interesting! I'm always fascinated how colors play a trick on the eye. I've heard of dry brushing before, but I have yet to see it in action. So, I'm definitely looking forward to it! You really have a gift, brother!
Your work is realy amazing, so powerful!
