OUR ILLUSTRATIONS
Our hallmark chiaroscuro illustrations are pencil sketches done on 6 x 9 paper. The pictures are drawn in negative, and after being scanned, the color is digitally inverted, leaving a composition largely composed of deep shadows (the white paper) interspersed with glowing swathes of light (pencil smudges), and gleaming highlights (pencil marks).
Here's a side-by-side "before and after" of J. Sheridan Le Fanu's haunting masterpiece, "Schalken the Painter". On the left is the pencil drawing I made; on the right it has been inverted and touched up with Pixlr editor.
