A lady in black - Digital sketch by Alpesh Parekh

This digital portrait explores the quiet tension between light and shadow. Created in Photoshop entirely in black-and-white, I focused on contrast, value, and the subtle transitions that give the figure depth and emotion. I’ve always been drawn to chiaroscuro, the way darkness can reveal as much as light, and this piece became an exploration of that balance.
