Drawing Basics
Getting Started
Lines
Shapes
How Perspective Works
Intuitive Perspective
Values
Bonus Content
Learn how adding values to your line drawings creates the illusion of 3D form. You'll understand what value means in art, how it relates to color, and why it's essential for realistic drawings. We'll introduce the value scale from black to white, limited value scales, value ranges, and the 4 key sources of value that determine the values we see.

Oh, by the way, why does Stan's black-and-white photo have a kind of Marilyn Monroe's beauty? It's so stunning that I can't look straight at it. 😜

“Think of lines as the framework of a building, and values as the walls that fill in the spaces, making it solid. Values create the illusion of form, depth, and volume and are essential for realistic drawings. Texture and color are like decorations and furniture.”——Oh I really love the metaphors used here. They are vivid and accurate!

Man I’m excited this the last hurdle I need to fix besides perspective.
also can some explain what he meant by color relationship near the beginning of the video?

I was referring to color theory being complicated. Getting into the details of hue, chroma, and value and how they affect each other is a big undertaking. One quick example is that when you shift a value, you might sometimes shift a hue as well.. Like when you make yellow darker, it appears more like a low chroma green. So if you want it to look more like a darker yellow, you need to shift it slightly toward orange..

I'm really looking forward to this section. While I've made good progress with understanding value, I'm hoping this part of the course will get me on even firmer ground. I've spent almost no time systematically studying edges, and I'm hoping my work takes a good leap forward when we get there.

i have my painting course this semester, i am having alot of problem getting to understand values in between colors leave all the stuff paint mixing, color picking, or exact measurents. i just cant thank you enough for making my life easy, i have done 1 year in fine arts, and i was still sooo unaware about the knowledge you just gave.... i am right now on shapes part but i want to skip so bad to values, because i know i need to undertsand values. Thanks again btw, i have a major busy semester, on top of that a part time job, but still i'll try my best to keep up with atleast this value part.

I don't have any issue with you doing these value lessons while they come out at the same time as the shape lessons. As long as you have enough time throughout the week to focus on both. As a full time student I would always have at least 2-3 different project i switched between.

Stan, great introduction to values, thanks.
I suppose we touched on value in the "Getting Started" lessons" Simplify a Pear" etc.
I've been looking forward to this section dedicated to value.
