Hi! I recently painted this bust for Black crow miniatures, and that hat was quite a challenge. I thought about not doing a cast shadow at all but i felt like with the size of it was impossible to avoid it. In the end i decided to make the shadow a bit larger making it easier to read and making the face a bit more important. It's not the first time i had to had a face in a cast shadow and it really proves a challenge of valacing values. It was definitely a fun time. I hope you like it!
