--dont think just because its simple or because its a thumb it has to be fast. that 2 value stage is the most important thing ever if you base a painting around it so it's worth spending 30 min or more on 1 thumb that's made it past the linesketch phase

--start with a simple idea and noodle it out like this http://sixmorevodka.tumblr.com/post/142025156342 and if it doesnt suck do it in bw like dis http://sixmorevodka.tumblr.com/post/140165983623 I've been doing it for a year now and whenever i did it i got a good comp out of it. if it works in the second stage it'll work as a comp later
