Murderous Portrait


Self Portrait assignment using upper right lighting and an expression with murderous intent. The assignment was to do a gray scale portrait of specified lighting, by which it took me give or take 6 hours to this point of completion.

Experimenting with the affects of a gradient layer over all others, what you see are two gradient layers, one a light gray going to near white, the other a dark gray to near white, one in subtract mode and the other in soft light mode.
I did a lot of experimenting on this one, switching modes of several layers to come to this, though I did particularly enjoy the look of the difference mode, this combination had the best outcome. Used combination of photo and mirror reference, reminder, get a desk mirror, it will make life 100% easier.
