Practicing using one colour and layering for tone contrast.
Inspired by a photo by Alessio Albi.

Ohhhhhhhhh 😮 holy shit! This is beautiful!
The composition is gorgeous. I adore the play of textures from the flowing hair! So beautiful. Like they are sleeping underwater šŸ˜„šŸ¤—. and I love the light and shadow on the skin. Really captures their expressions. I love this 🄰🄰

Aw thank you so much! The composition is pretty much from the photo with some slight changes. So happy you think the light and skin tones work.

I was trying to find a link to the original image but blowed if I can find it so here's a thumbnail. He's a really interesting photographer.

The natural light is gorgeous in the reference photo šŸ¤—
Still something about the cohesiveness and way the flow is emphasised in your version that just grabs me šŸ˜„šŸ¤—

This is really gorgeous! I love how much shade variation there is even just using this one color. It really brings out the depth of the image.

The middle strip is the original page colour — I had thought to leave some white showing to increase the contrast but in the end I did a light wash over both of them and worked in layers on that. So happy you think it works!
