That's my attempt on this assignment.

I saw a lot of really beautiful detailed work, but I chose to make thumbnails, like the assignment said. I learned that doing more drawings is better in this process of learning, than focusing on one drawing for a really long time. I drew with a 2H pencil to keep me from going too dark and the helped. I tried to group the values and not get too much into details.

Uh that was difficult. Not so happy, I will try that again ^^

It was difficult, from the point of view of rendering the shape with value shapes. After all, the ship's hull is not the most understandable and simple form x_)

Not 100% happy with the results and details as I tried to be faster in my process, but it's done!

This one felt pretty weird to do and I'm not sure I really got what I had to get, but I'm gonna move on

Here it goes. I continue to have great difficulty maintaining contrast and preventing the image from becoming muddy. Although I feel more comfortable in this assignment compared to the previous one, I feel that the focus on the most important subject has been somewhat lost and that the image in general is not harmonious and clear, as in the illustration shown in the video... I understand that this is not a rendering challenge, but I feel that mastering contrast and edges is key. Feeling a bit lost…What can I do to improve in this assignment?

Here’s my attempt at the high-key study. Really interesting to see how dark the mid tone values start to appear after getting further in the process. When you start they feel so light, it’s interesting to see how truly relative value is. Gonna be introducing these high and low key value studies into my practice rotation for sure.

It was a bit challenging to control the values in oil but it was a great exercise.

after posting it, I think i need to get back to it and refine the edges to read better. also it is relatively in the mid tones and doesn't feels like a high key thumbnail. really enjoyed seeing everyone's work

Really nice seeing other people’s results

Hello everyone, here is my submission for assignment 4B. The first one I did along with the lecture, and the second I did while going back and forth. For the last one, I did it without looking back, just going by what I had done in the first two. I found myself fighting detailing and trying to get it "perfectly," especially on the second and third.

Love the class so far! I also wanted to try to learn ProCreate while doing the assignments!! 😅

Chose my own reference for this one. Photograph by Arcady Shaikhet (1898-1959). I think I could have worked on it more and put in some more detail, but since it was so complex I also knew I had to stop somewhere. I’d love some suggestions on how it could be improved :)

Heres my Thumbnail, i might of crept a bit past 5 on the value scale
