VIDEOS/ART- Capturing Value From Your Reference: Tips And Approach

If you’re drawing from reference and you begin shading, only to have your drawing come out…less than natural looking, you’re not alone.  When you’re learning to add rending, this is a very common thing.

The question is, what can you do about it? What are you not seeing? What are you doing wrong?

In this video I try to give you tips that will capture the look that you’re looking for. Here I’ll cover:

• How we see
• Line vs tone
• The steps you need to do before you begin rendering
• Breaking up your values simply
• Seeing planes.
• The rules of thumb about shading the light areas vs the dark areas.
