nufftalon, thank you for the advice. I did try the value studies from the old masters a while ago for a Noah Bradley art camp course, they're below. I think I used 3 for each? I do find them helpful. This piece I just posted (I think) looks saturated because it's below a scanned layer that isn't transparent. Without the pencil layer, it looks like this:
When I look at it, it could use more tonal variation.
Here's the value studies:
Pubic Enemy, its good to hear from you again :) I think the paint over version looks a lot more pleasing to the eye than the original. The torso looks more believable than the original too, it also made me realize that it looks better without the hip dips. Don't worry, I found this very helpful.
darktiste, thank you, that's very good to know, I'll keep that in mind.
