Let’s take a look through your value scales!
When you're working on your value scales, it's common to have trouble seeing the subtle differences in mid-tones. One big mistake I saw in a lot of your work was not going dark enough with your values. Make sure to stretch your range all the way to black and get comfortable using darker tones. Also, don’t jump too quickly from your darkest value to the next one. That compresses your mid-tones and makes it harder to see the steps clearly.
This critique really helped me out i tired to stay away from the common mistake but i think i still ended up making it lol. but it was really helpful letting me see vaules abit better
