Looking forward to working on the edges. Paint by number is more fun than I would have guessed though.

What this method should be doing for you is putting your focus on drawing while in the middle of the painting process. What so many do is lose the mindset of drawing and start "painting' as though the drawing is over. Before proceeding, you could take your two averages, shadow and light, and hone the shapes even more accurately before heading into the next stages. Another way to describe this stage would be to "posterize" the subject. Like a graphic poster. It's soooo easy to then take that set up to finish.

I had lots of trouble trying to separate the shadows inside the ear the way you did, but otherwise I think it went okay.
Morgan Weistling
the ear is not important since it's in the shadow. This is real good.

Not sure if I pushed the contrasts too close on the cloudy one (to the right) but hopefully this is good enough.
Morgan Weistling
Very good

Hi, Morgan! Thanks for the assignment, the grid made it much easier than I was expecting. Looking forward to seeing how this leads to the next stages.
Morgan Weistling
If you can try to tap into this kind of thinking even when there is no grid, the world is your oyster. You did great. Ready for paint.
