Wow, that really helped with the concept of big to small forms and working systematically toward the detail. I see I really make mistakes by getting into detail in smaller areas before the big forms are described. Thanks 👍 🙏

One is before demo other one is after, never been this good believe me.(and I know this is bad)

Thank you for this.

Thanks for this interesting Value Management Demo Cesar. I like the tools you use to blend in the video. I'm looking forward to your follow up later. :)

Should we use this technique forward with smoothing out the shadows with finger/tools and spreading the shadow value into halftones, forward in our shadowing projects?

That was really helpful. The points about contrast and the dynamic range of the eye shifting as we change our focus being problematic for staying true to the value relationships in the thing we are trying to draw. I'm speaking specifically about his little demo with the edge of the hand against a light (less perceivable contrast) vs against of dark background (more perceivable contrast) and the requirement to have darker values for the edge of the hand regardless because of the environment. Our eyes collect information and then our brain just lies to us! Constantly! We've got to be smarter than that!
