My four values were the cast shadow, form shadow, dark halftones & lightest light. I used the form shadow value for the dark background, and the dark halftones for the ground plane. Also went with the controversial dark halftones for the reflected light in the sphere. The study doesn't photograph well, but I think the "Effect" comes through for me.

This assignment kicked my butt lol. This is an exercise that I see myself repeating many times.

Thanks Proko, and Stephen Bauman! Heads Lay In practice...

Practice: Terminator Study.
