Limiting the time to 15 to 20 minut for a 3 value study and i still struggle to finish mapping the big value.I as you can see in the lower image i take time to separate the value but sometime i will realize mid way that i should have spent more time planning the value but since i am limiting my time i tend to spend no more than 5min planning the value.

1 slash = lightest value 2 slash =mid value 3 slash dark=value

Sometime because of leak of value to clearly separate object i make the sky dark than it is.I realized that dark sky often help separate the sky from the rest of the scene it doesn't mean that it the night.Often the sky will have white cloud so i don't want to use a mid value that whould class with mid value of the element below.

At this stage of my value study i was still experimenting on how to use the brush to block in and what tool to use.
After a step back i wonder why i just didn't use symmetry to my advantage to gain speed in the first image to create the building silhouette.
