11 tackling your values

-

I had trouble doing value studies. Somehow I couldn’t put similar values together. So I reinvented the wheel for myself. I started with pure blacks documentin­g only in black and white. A nearby coffee shop was an excellent place for my studies because it had strong overhead spot lights on the seats. These created crisp shadows and were easy to document. Slowly, I started introducin­g greys. I still have to think about values though – they don’t come naturally.
