Update time...
I read the article about values...I'll try to digest everything and hope I can apply it well.
some life drawing from yesterday, a very quick portrait piece I did for the purpose of values. Today I tried to reconstruct the portrait from memory and failed big time. Somewhere in the middle I thought it looked like my OC and so I went with that. Did this in the morning, when I opened it now in the middle of the night..........I'm shocked at how bad the contrast is. I KNOW that I always tend to have be extra careful with contrast and so I choose darker values deliberately, but it still ends up like this. (So much for better values....) Next time...Next time...also, always the problems with drawing the eyes correctly in perspective orz and two colour studies from photos.
