Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

[darktiste]

Do you start a painting by getting rid of as much white off the screen as possible?Like blocking large value shape first? That way you don't have as much of the white value fighting back against your eye? Also you can also use a value picker to isolate value. Sometime ''issue'' are develop over habit we pick up developping were drawing into a finish product my last advise to you might be to try to record yourself drawing and try say outloud the intention you were going toward and watch back your own pattern over a few session to observe yourself from an outside perspective.
