When I stuck up one of my 3-D pieces on the wall on the way to the Vis Com studios, I was really interested in the soft, subtle shadow created by the light coming in through the window. After I recorded it with my camera, I wanted to re-create that shadow somhow, even though that shadow will be gone at a different tim of the day, so I decided to trace the shadow with a 2B pencil to create a smooth transition between the stronger parts of the shadow, to the lighter, more faded parts of the shadow. Here is a photograph of the artificial shadow, but to be honest, it is much better to see this in person:
I was planning of applying the same idea to my other 3-D pieces after I photograph them on a clean, white wall with good lighting, including the following pieces:
So that's my plans starting tomorrow! Thanks for reading, and bye for now!
