Art of the Grim Shaders
The grim style of the presentation was not chosen by chance. This way Olga sought to show how the brushes convey and create volume and a lighting effect in the illustration. This effect is due to the combination of subtle to dense grain textures, as well as the ability of the brushes to complement each other and create the finest gradients and transitions.
