What is fun with thumbnail is you only need 2 layer.One you fill with a 50% gray and an other where you add your dark.

So how do you add highlight i heard you say you simply erase from the 50% gray layers

Voila you have a simply 2 layers and 3 value simple process.Just sharing in case this might help you or anyone reading in the future.

I suggest a few thumbnail study where you take a few master and try to simplify there value between 3 to 5 value.I think it will help train your easy to see difference in value and also it will help you be more aware of the importance of contrast in illustration.

This is really useful, i'm doing in this way too! i'll start making thumbnails from masters again, its a good way to learn.
