"The darkest light is lighter than the lightest shadow" are so simple words but honestly the most important thing when it comes to values. Truly understanding this concept improves every painting a lot.

I should add that, while you can approach virtually any painting using these value groups, this is not the only value system out there, nor is it an exhaustive list in and of itself. For instance, highlights are not included in this lesson (I plan to do an entire lesson on them in the future.) ALSO - At 5:16 I began discussing that value group using the term 'Ambient Light.' Then midway through I switched the term to 'Reflected Light'. My bad. To clarify: they are the same thing! Thanks for watching, and happy painting :)

One way that I learned, and that helps keep your light and dark families separate, is 'middle-out' instead of 'outside-in': block in with the lightest dark and darkest light values, and keep them at least 1 or 2 value steps apart. Then work up to the lightest areas and down to the darkest ones, and save those 1 or 2 steps you reserved *just* for those places where you might need to transition the lights into the darks more softly.

YES FINALLY SOMEONE EXPLAINS IT IN A WAY I UNDERSTAND, I just watched this and the ambient occlusion series i was getting sick of people explaining like "ahhh its intuitive, i cant really explain it to you". Please, this was beautifully explained right here and know I realize some of the tutorials id been following for light and shade are very one sided, ie, don't really get into the details of causation, and how different hue strengths have different weights and therefore different "mileage" in ambient shadows, absolutely brilliant, I definitely understand them now, brain is lighting up like Jimmy Neutron, thank you for making this

Nice vid. This is so different from how I usually paint (starting with mapping the volumes, shade the ambient occlusion & then add the light source depending on other aspects of the scene to complete composition). One thing that's similar though, is I'm also obsessed with Asaro head. Sometimes I start the day by drawing it from various angles. I recently sculpted a female Asaro head too. I suggest everyone make or buy one. It's totally worth it

@marcobucci

Hi Jason. I think many more drawing corrections/alterations are being made in this video without the warp tool than with it. Each shape change, each brushstroke (especially in step 1) is a kind of correction. The warp tool is extremely helpful to tweak overall gesture and flow, and I'm not put off by it, so long as your fundamentals are there. In other words, the warp tool won't help you if your drawing and design skills aren't up to par. But if they are, Photoshop's tools can help enhance your stuff. I have several other videos on my channel that explain good shapes & drawing further (no warp tool, I promise): kzitem.info/news/bejne/yH9smKZ-h6aYZaw kzitem.info/news/bejne/jpCh1IuBjaKUbGU
