In this lesson I'm going through and putting in the light values in a painting. After this we start adding multiple values to make the painting look more realistic, but this step is essential to understanding the shapes of our painting.
Please follow along with me and post your progress here.
Reference provided in "Grid Drawing" lesson in the course.
It was a bit difficult covering all the areas of average light without accidentally covering some of the average shadow even with a size 1 brush so certain features had to be corrected afterwards
Hi Morgan, Happy New Year
Revised Light value lesson.
After your review I pretty much started over to get better accuracy. Like you said I lost the accuracy when i started blocking in the light values. I couldn't get over how far off I was and I hope the new version is a lot more accurate.
Appreciate any feedback.

you need to move on to the halftones and edges phase. You can't solve everything at this stage.
Did too much correcting and lost my average light. Recreated it but now he looks a little jaundice. Will correct it.

You changed your mindset once you started laying the paint. Your initial drawing was more accurate and then you veered away from going more and more accurate. Instead you got a bit thrown off with the painting aspect and your light and dark shapes got less accurate.
Not liking my background and coat. Looks muddy but I guess I can fix this later. And he looks sulky, lol
I dont know if its just me, but I see purple/crimson in his face in the photo, not the mustard. And thats from the image on my screen and what was printed.

okay, good. Please try using smaller brush for the very delicate drawing you want to be getting accurately here. Be more specific in your observations and measurements even at this stage.
I corrected the shapes overlaying on the pc, or should I not be so literal with what I see? Also, do you keep that half tone dark in the concave of the cheek in the light plane so that you can maintain its shape visibile while knowing its going to fall into the dark family ultimately?

The stage you had before this is really good. Adding the light values I think you lost a little of the mindset you had. I really liked the the strength in you drawing at that stage. Try to get it back.
Here's where I continued from the grid drawings in previous weeks. Think I went a little too light on the average of the skin in comparison but as I've continued on, I darkened the mix slightly. Let me know what you think

yep, the average is too light. But this still is a good set up
The harsh edge on the cheek is so tempting to blend out but I'm sticking rigidly to the instruction (which is usually hard for me). Even though it's late, I'm going to watch the next lesson to see if the 2nd layer needs to be done while the 1st layer is still wet.

This is a good set up. The eyes are a little weird, but overall you’re getting it.

You are on the right track, but you’re kind of wiggly with your shapes so try and keep them cleaner without so much waving us and squint while you do it. Move on to the half tons and try to make your strokes more sure of yourself.
Overall, I think its okay. Im not sure about the shadow shape of his cheek down to his chin. Should i make it less simple or is it good enough to move forward?

It’s good enough to move forward and start putting in your half tones so that we can finally get to the edges which this needs desperately
