Yeehaw! It only took me like two weeks and several hours painting, but I did it! This was a challenging exercise, and I decided to throw in the towel before it was really finished figuring that it'd be better to do more exercises than to stick on this one.
I did use the color picker a lot; it gets real frustrating to be able to *SEE* the the color you picked and the color that actually occurred are different, but not be able to figure out how to pick the right one. With all the color relativity and subtlety in saturation and hue, I just get impatient sometimes. If anyone has any thoughts on what the best practice might be, that'd be cool!
Any comments, critique or feedback is welcome! I was thinking the parts I was going to work on next would be the upper surfaces of Dobby's head, then working into the wrinkles, ears, and left cheek.

Here's Dobby! I decided to try freehanding him, and also limited myself to six values. He's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the form carving and shape design I have going on in a few places. This was a fun assignment, looking forward to the next one!

Here is my Dobby head. My plan was to take 1 hour, but in the end, it took me 1.3 hours. I am struggling with the dark side cheeks. But it was still fun to paint.
I appreciate for any feedback.

Haha, I do like the darkside cheek; very defined! I'm impressed how quickly you got this done. Your values are quite on point general, I notice on the bottom lip there's a dark spot that didn't get properly blended and the contrast it creates sticks out a little.
Also in the shadow values, while looking at only the shadows I find it's easy to get tunnel vision, constricting your view to only the shadow, the slightly less dark parts looks more like a highlights. Sometimes you may end up with values in the shadowy parts that are too bright because of this. I think this may have happened in the right cheek a little? And also there's a stroke with a blender on the neck that came out a little too bright. (Hopefully this is helpful for others).
You did very well noticing all of the broad patterns and shapes in the original and attempting to replicate each one in the copy, nice work!

Spent about 2 hrs. So much detail- would be a fun sketch as well! I found it difficult to stick to painting and not drawing, to get the finer details, but happy with how the highlights/shadows came out overall.

Your light parts came out really bright!

Here's Dobby. "Abandoned" it at around two hours, otherwise, I would've gone forever hah.
Quite the challenge honestly, so many wrinkles. Comparing it with the ref, I didn't get the darkest dark and the face isn't as polished as the rest, was already out of time, but still happy with what I got.
1 Hour, 2 Hours, 2 Hours + blending respectively
