Darktiste Sketchbook

I guess it depends on if you are going for a pass of soft ambient light coming from a general direction, or hard light and shadow (chiaroscuro). If it's the former then actually most of these are working pretty well, it doesn't take a ton of contrast to get the form. But if it's the latter then we need to see a hard division of light and shadow, and cast shadows.

It seem like a fair observation.I was trying to go with a bit of variety in term of contrast rather that just changing the light position and changing the plane orientation.But i think i use my brush on an intensity that wasn't conclusive with my intention so atleast i know why it make sense if they feel the same.Building gradient in the style i was going for isn't even that hard so it shouldn't be a problem.

I have the intention to render 1 of them further with occlusion shadow and cast shadow.So actually it wasn't necessary right when i said next step is detail.
