Thanks Anisia, and Patrick! I always tend to go a little mid value, and need to crank up the contrast a little more.
Also I do kinda tend to shy away from details cause its always been weirdly intimidating to me which is stupid, so I am gonna tackle that tomorrow.
Yeah AJ I think does analyze it more, and I need to do that along with copying, and find a good balance copying and analyzing.
I'll also start paying more attention to angle, and shape. Shape is something I feel I need to know a lot more about, which means I have to study study study.
Also, the reason I don't work from photos directly in black and white, is I don't want to resort to copying it, and having to change the color in value is so I think about it more, but that could be flawed logic. I am still kinda unsure if that is the best thing to do.
I'll try doing some more detailed studies tomorrow, and make them black and white the way the article you posted says.
Today I did 2 hour study then apply, then study of master focusing on form of shadow, then I messed with blocking in value, and then I blended what I blocked.
