Eru's Sketchbook

[Amit Dutta]

Hey mate, for the value studies, consider using the largest brush size you can to build your forms. Rather than lots of small sized strokes try and use the least number to get the right value and shape. Also try and simplify the values into a few discrete tones and larger simpler shapes, especially at first. squint your eyes a little to simplify the value arrangement into mid tone, core shadow, highlights and block the major bits in first. Adding detail you can think of later once your main volumes are correct.
