Coinhero's sketchbook

[Coinhero]

You don't test the value before going in color?I believe a concept that is good to put in practice is strong silhouette.

I do a values sketch before colors and check the values all the time I just don't want to go super heavy contrast from the start because that's one of the things that messes up my paintings.
I think it looks fine as it is now maybe just a bit more contrast but I think it's more that the edges are so soft everywhere
