Timelapses. Value breakdown in the female figure, starting from the shape

Hi!

This assignment continues the previous lesson on value in the figure. I tried to break the figure down into several values. The shadow now has gradation too, and the light got a more detailed gradation. I pushed the arms slightly back and into shadow so they wouldn’t pull attention.

If you don’t want to spend time on the drawing itself and would rather put that time into value, I’ve attached PNG files with the line art and the silhouette — you can start painting right away by locking the layer’s pixels, laying the line art layer on top and lowering its opacity.

Or you can watch the first timelapse and draw the figure yourself, following along with me 😎 The line drawing was done with the Pencil 6B brush, and the finger smudging with the Nikko Rull brush.

Good luck!
