Hello, I'd love to hear how others deal with and have learned how to plan the use of value in your drawings. One area I am learning and working on, and absolutely love, is using value to establish form and highlights, etc. I am struggling however, when I start a drawing (graphite or coloured pencil) as I don't know the best way in deciding how to establish the value. For example, is better to draw out shapes of value (tends to be choppy and not great flow/smooth transition however) beforehand, or is it better to draw your value lightly and darken as you go along? Matt's tutorials have shown both techniques I guess. My drawing of my dog shows how I struggle with this. If you have seen Matt's tutorial of the little white dog with hair that comes over one eye, that is a perfect example of how planning your value is so important. Obviously erasing isn't the best technique. I'd like to develop this value planning skill much more as I believe it is a key to my drawing being more realistic which I love to do. Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from anyone that has some ideas how to improve in this area. I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
