I had a little idea about value but did not know how to apply. The tiny value study with a portrait was great ! It is something I can start practicing right away. It was really informative lesson. Thank you !!!

Do you always squint? Does taking off your glasses result have the same effect?

Hi Dorian, loved your video on Lambert's emission law. Would drawing on inclined surface improve my drawings? I currently draw and paint on table surface.

Yes, preferably stand and draw either with an easel or / and with stand up desk ( electrically adjustable from IKEA with a inclined drawing board on top. Also possible and simple, sitting with a board and a smooth newsprint pad leaning against the back of a chair in front of you. Peter 🌱

I say yes, it's better to sit up straight and see it head on to keep the painting/drawing from looking squashed or stretched in perspective, also better for posture and easier movement of your arm and hand.

Hihi, how do you manage shadow groups with dark objects/colour? Aka how to show shadows accurately in a scene with bright object's shadow being on dark object without the dark object being darkest value group completely
