More value concentration, this time doing a sketch in about 20 minutes.




This is such a cool sculpture. Anyhow, 20 minutes or so, go!

I start with blocking it out ....




If I stopped here, I'd think I might have more than a clue at this ;). But I continue, setting value a little,




Then I finish up:




I think I'm definitely making progress. Lesson learned is that yes I'm getting an understanding of value but am still off, as evidenced by bringing the photo into photoshop and "posterizing" it, which clearly shows a different value structure than I've used (the first in 6 steps, the second in 9).







I thought this posterizing was a great demonstration of where I'm misfiring. I think I've gotta sketch a bunch more!
