It's a very interesting technique. I love it! You simply make some random ink marks and the result is this!? If I would put random ink marks then they would stay random ink marks :D
My favorite would be that angry man on the right (top) and that lady. It even looks like she would be having a conversation with the guy on the left. She looks sad and he looks guilty. I wonder what he did to her..
All those portraits are very good! I like that they are so dark. It makes me think about their emotions.
Thank you for sharing Niko!
Thank you delishtreats :) there certainly feels like a story or connection with the bottom two portraits :)
Keylighting like this with portraits always amplifies expression I find, as the forms around the eyes, eyebrows and mouth are more pronounced. Great for moody and expressive work.
