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.

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
Ththink this looked awful but I trusted the process and it worked out I think

your shapes are on the money. keep going
Ethan with the average light added; beginning ear correction. Some of my mixed oils have formed a slight skin even though they are in capped containers similar to yours...one disadvantage I guess of totally premixed colors used over extended time (have grandchildren and xmas duties keeping me from my class).

hope you got the right ones. my list pdf. has the right ones, from Hobby Lobby. Are you using the Dollar Tree ones? They are terrible I found out. The hobby lobby ones are really great. I am using mixtures from 4 weeks ago.

this is a good set up. but try to organize the hair into simpler graphic shapes like you did the head.
Thank you for creating these videos. It is great review for me. I love your relaxed approach. I believe in lifetime learning. I’m glad to see you work with black. I have recently been working with black, after many years of not using it in flesh tones.
I am watching the videos all the way through then will go back and work on the exercises.
‘thank you for sharing your mastery. I am living it.😍
