I learned a ton from my [Richard Schmid study](https://krita-artists.org/t/study-from-richard-schmid/126540), so I decided to try a study from another artist I love: Caravaggio!

I originally planned just to roughly block in the pieces of the composition, especially focusing on value contrast… but I wound up noodling around and getting more detailed in some areas. Other areas (like a lot of the figure itself) I just left blocked in with blobby half-accurate color notes, haha.

Either way, it was fun and I learned a lot!
