      sounds good. You will be glad you put in the work here.

      Below I've pasted some images. The two artists are Joseph Zbukvic and Lisbeth Zwerger. Both are masters of the medium and huge influences on me. Look at how they use light and dark and also their color balance. Just breathtaking. If you changed these to greyscale they will still work perfectly.

        @Lee-White Oh, thank you! Beautiful. I will use some of these for the challenge! I did one today. I didn't look at it in gryscale but painted it in gray scale. Is that what I should do? Or am I supposed to change it and then copy it? I'm thinking that the first way is right.

          @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen either way is good. I'd try it with the color original. Then change it to greyscale and see how close you got.

                      These are the greyscale of mine and the original for Day 17. I posted the colored ones on another post but decided to add these in to compare too. I couldn't get them to "stick" on the other post 🙂

                        The nose and the right side of the hair look a bit light in comparison to the original, I think. Very challenging to copy this style!
