Study 1. A Russian operative and a butterfly
This was one of the studies I had worked on recently with the aim of progressing my fundamental skills. The source of the original photograph is not known to me however the image depicts a Russian soldier in a brief moment of awe amid the chaos of the military operation.
It's a powerful image and I think it shows that no matter where we are, regardless of situation it's important to take a moment and relinquish our worries and behold the beauty of the present moment.
I began with the basic blocking in of black and white values, slowly building up with mid tones and small details, finally adding colour and other fine details and gradients.
