Start on your illustration, choose and do your value studies in order to directly apply to the piece. That way your study is tailored towards something specific and not just for it's own sake.
Eg if you know it will have a misty setting study values from various reference related to mist. This can apply to every and any aspect of your painting.
good luck!
Yo thank you! That's a great idea that somehow slipped my mind. A question in relation to that - let's say I want to study rocks or wooden structures, how much does it matter if I studied from a professional's digital paintings compared to if I studied from a photo/real life? Should I definitely avoid studying from digital paintings and only use photo references?
