Chrome study

Would I be able to pull off a realistic chrome effect?

I’ve always been fascinated with shadows and how light bends. And apparently not everyone has that same curiosity...weird.

I've always wanted to try painting shiny surfaces, but due to the difficulty I kept postponing it. Now I got the opportunity with a huge wall. Was the effect successful? You decide.

Practice…makes fluid

After doing the face, which I had meticulously planned and sketched, I tried freestyling a hand using the same technique. Yees! I had actually learned how the reflections bounce by doing the pre-study and the face.

Check out that hand and the ball floating in it.

Bending light is my jam

A personal piece without adding my letter-bending 3D text style feels like missing out. (It says Pencil…duh)
