Monkeybread's Dribblings

Hey man, i think you are on the money for your self assesment from the head job.

Though i will throw in a bit of a crit for how to move forward maybe.



It seems that in your focus on environments you haven't developed the skill to effectively turn planes with value, you seem to be trying to communicate form with large soft gradients rather than flat values as you should.

it's a hard concept to really grasp and use but when you have a direct light on the same material. If the value changes then it communicates a form change.

I'm still unsure of the best way to teach this, but i found that subdividing forms with a hard round with no blending is a good way to practice it.
