March, 2018 Shift Art Photoshop Challenge is Closed.
The theme: Light!
This month the theme is light. The challenge this month will involve creating light in your pieces. Most of the images provided this month have very plain or diffuse lighting, and it’ll be up to you to make the lighting exciting, dramatic, other-worldly, or whatever you decide. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
