@JosephCow thank you, precious feedback as always! :) I agree: the first image was a difficult one to work with for this kind of exercise. Now that I see your value distillations mine feels so off lmao. But that's a good thing. Maybe from time to time it's indeed interesting to use a wide range of values. At first I really wanted to use 2 or 3 values max but in some cases, with complex and subtle value shifts like this one, it doesn't really work. I like the idea of focusing less on solid sharp-edges shapes and painting more losely. It worked really well on your thumbnails. Thank you for the time you spent giving me feedback
@darktiste Yes, of course, composition and value are more than often related. I always try to keep this in mind and this exercise is in fact -to me at least- a way to improve in understanding composition choices, and the relationship between value balance, contrast, and what makes a working composition. As always, thanks for the feedback :) !
