Every person evokes a different "feeling" because each has his or her own personality. Artists try to capture that feeling, that "spark" of life by using different styles and lighting. In addtion, the different media used for a painting or drawing will affect the feeling of the image because each of the media has its own character. This can be used to the artist's advantage to help capture the personality of the subject.

Here is a portrait done with Chinese ink brush on Japanese rice paper. Compare the personality of this with that of a portrait done in pastel.
