Part one of adding halftones to our painting.

For the assignment for this lesson, follow along with me and add half tones to the two value painting you've done already.

Reference in the "Grid drawing" lesson of this course.

I feel like my skin tones need more blue mixed in. I don't know if it is the photo or if they are that bad! I feel like I am making headway, but I believe that it will take several more attempts to get things done in a better way. Thank you.

The teacher just makes his look so painterly and beautiful each step of the way! Grrrr. This is my step one of the half tone

use smaller brushes to force you to nail smaller shapes now.

Hi Morgan, I am sorry to have so many duplicates when I send the assignment. I don't know why it is doing that. I deleted them and tried again but it does the same thing.

I started adding some the half tones. Its still very posterized. I knocked back the highlights in the hair and darkened the clothing some. Now the face looks maybe a little bright. It might be ok after softening the transition from halftone to shadow. I think its maintaining the likeness (?) The nose needs more structure.

you are doing quite well. Don't worry about the posterized effect yet. Your likeness is intact and this is a good setup for what is to come. The highlight on forehead is a good key for the lightest plane on head. As you later work that into the surrounding lighter values around it later, it will really have a nice egg principle glow. You need to now mix a little darker halftone to meet the edge of shadow as you get into the stage of edges. One of the issues that many are running into is that they are painting this head over a period of days. I painted the demo you watched from beginning to end in two days of filming. The paint was still wet. So if this had dried on you, rewet with more paint at the edge area as you start to soften edges. This is why it's nice to have your colors premixed in little jars.

Ethan with half tones and highlights applied. This is a second pass as my original half tone mix was too orange....I let it partially dry during the holiday and then remixed. I will be ordering some brushes as my old ones aren't small enough for the details, especially in the eye area.
