Peter's Sketchbook

[Peter]

Really enjoying your past couple of sketchbook pages, Peter! It's great to see how you're able to identify your struggles and what needs to be done to fix them.

I think building up your values is a great way to start. You'll find this method gives you a lot more control over your work. A thing to also remember is that things aren't really as light or as dark as we think they are. It's relative to the values surrounding it. So building up values helps with that.

Best of luck! Can't wait to see some more work from you :)

Hi Cat thanks for stopping by. Glad you're enjoying the work :)  I always fall into the trap of percieving values to be much darker than they are, for instance when I'm drawing from the model I always go pitch black with the hair (if it's dark) and go as hard as possible with my pencil, only to realise later on I went wayy to dark.
