Project Overview
Summer Glare is an anatomy-focused illustration that explores the interaction of light with skin in a bright, sun-drenched setting. The piece demonstrates technical proficiency in figure drawing and surface rendering.
Anatomical Foundation
Strong fundamentals in anatomy inform every aspect of this piece. The pose is both natural and dynamic, with careful attention to how the body moves and how light defines form through shadow and highlight.
Light & Surface Interaction
The specular highlights create a convincing wet-skin effect, demonstrating understanding of how different surface conditions affect light behavior. This attention to material rendering adds realism and visual interest to the piece.
Color Temperature
A warm, summer color palette suffuses the entire image, creating a cohesive and mood-appropriate atmosphere. The interplay of warm light and cooler shadows adds dimension while maintaining the sun-soaked aesthetic.
