Grab a reference, or use one provided from the grayscale lesson or the downloads tab of this lesson and do another grayscale painting, this time utilizing multiple layers! You could separate the figure from the background, add clothing and jewelry on their own layers, or even have layers with special effects or adjustments.

You can also try changing your finished painting to something else. You can take your character layer and place it on a new background, or try alternate versions of the character with different clothing, hairstyles, or props. 

When you submit your assignment, be sure to include a photo of your finished grayscale painting, your modified grayscale painting, and a screenshot of your layer structure for the best feedback.
