This was a fun exercise! I need to work on not trying to get details in straightaway. I had to go back a few times to reign myself in and be more broad.

Tried doing this first in charcoal, and decided to do it again digitally with Procreate and it was a lot easier to read. It was a fun assignment that definitely had me struggling to not slip into muscle memory as far as value goes, so I was kept engaged the whole time.

My current setup, which feels a lot more cramped than it appears in the sketch 😆 redesigning it to have a space to set up a tripod for filming with a clear view of my painting easel helped a lot.
