Description So just a normal ''control'' face if you will, because the subject really wasn't the point of this experiment.

It's something someone and I were talking about one time, and I had to try it; why not try to color a drawing figuring out the colors only with a red light bulb to lighten you?

It's funny how your notions are all fucked up, because greens are way darker than reds, so everything's kind of really messed up at the time you do it. And it's a real shock when you open the normal light on the finished product.

The idea of coloring something with just a red light to guide you sounds kind of fun..I kinda wanna give it a shot now xD

I really do like how this all came together though, how the different shadows are different colors and all that. Did it look much different under a redlight?

That method is an excellent idea.

J'suis pas sur de comprendre. Tu dessinais genre dans une salle rouge pour photos et tu tentais de deviner les vrais couleurs du dessin?

En tout cas, fucked up est le mot. Un autre truc fun dans le même genre c'est dessiner quand tu as la tête couché sur la table. Donc avec un angle tout croche tu tente de dessiner un visage ou un corps. Le résultat est super laid mais il prend forme quand tu le regarde du même angle ou l'artiste l'a dessiné.

Wow! That seems like a really cool idea. I can't even imagine what this must have looked like in a red light.

Did the end result look like anything you were attempting in the red light?
This makes me want to go and do it myself!

Haha, actually I tried not to make something ''logical'' and just put as much colors as I could as a test, and the left side of her face was very very dark. I'll do it again and I'll take pictures of the red light / normal light transition eventually.
