I worked this up a little more than necessary because I think it gives a pleasing effect. I would have gone darker with the values if I had used another medium. But that would be a lot more "pencil mileage" here.

I wanted to share, that I actually did a little thumbnail sketch to get my bearings on this before doing it full size.

The floor and form shadow value could go darker here. Compare your value study to the reference image. See how both tones are closer to the background value in the reference? Otherwise nice and clear 👍👍

Didn't think I should take the time to go in and even out the tone to remove the texture of the paper. I didn't think that was the point of the exercise, though I could probably use the practice in doing so.

Agreed. You only need to keep the tones clean enough to clearly see the tonal relationships of the different value groups. That still works here. 👍

I have not used traditional pencil in a while but it was fun to go back.

Hi Yvann. Your value study is well organised. You could improve the visual accuracy by selecting a value for the lights that more closely matches the reference image, and by including a dark value in the background. The goal here is to get your value study looking as close to the reference image as possible, while using a limited palette of values.
