This thread is for discussion and references and ideas and posting your work related to chiaroscuro painting/drawing, and lighting and making a single-light source study for fun and folio.
General premise: make a Goya/Vermeer/Caravaggio/Rembrandt/etc inspired painting, drawing, sketch, doodle, whatever… where the single light source is either a phone, laptop, vape pen, car dashboard, etc.
I will post a reference featuring 2 famous American actresses that would be a good template or example of a contemporary subject, but the world is your oyster. Post suggestions for other sources that anons could use. If you like anime do that. As long as you’re thinking about lighting sourced in the frame being the only thing illuminating the subjects.
Only wrong answer is not doing something.
