Place your light source to the side of the sculpture. Observe how the "ombres" (shadows) shift and stretch across the surface, turning a simple white paper into a complex storytelling medium . Digital Creation (Graphic Design)
Ombres et Lumières: Navigating the Interplay of Absence and Presence
Gather heavy cardstock, an X-Acto knife, and a focused light source (like a desk lamp).
