In this 3rd demo, we dive into creating value composition thumbnails for Level 2 with a more complex concept. You'll learn how to use markers and pencils to experiment with different value arrangements, affecting how the subject appears—making figures seem smaller and more vulnerable or larger. We explore simplifying complex shapes, incorporating elements like cast shadows, and adjusting backgrounds to influence the mood. The lesson guides you through selecting a composition, planning with five distinct values, and developing a larger, detailed drawing that enhances focus on key elements like the face and hands.

How long is this going to go on? Is it really the single most important thing we have to practice? We've been at it for over 3 months now, and the tedium of watching these seemingly endless videos is exasperating.

It also seems to me that we spend a surprising amount of time on this one topic, but I'm not in a hurry. Learning is a continuous, endless process that requires repetition. So while waiting for new lessons, I'm just doing a second tour through the course. I watch all videos again, repeating level 1 as a warm-up and facing level 2 this time.
And... Stan is not a robot. Maybe this time he just needs more time to prepare the next lessons. He supplies us the highest quality content, I can wait, no problem.

Values do 90% of the work in an image so I think that the time spent is definitely worth it. Plus, I don't know if you're aware. He sent out an email recently: they just welcomed a new child to the family and asked for our patience.

Maybe you just need to trust the person that knows what's up and be patient 🧘♂️

I just got the digital painting fundamental course. And first project was painting a grey scale figure painting from reference. No limit in values or edges. I used what I learned here and made value composition tumbnales before i started.
