Value Studies

The first part of this project was mostly....frustrating. It was frustrating because it is difficult to get seamless transitions, and frustrating because it was about the thirtieth time in my life that I've had to do a value scale. Once I got the value scale done, the second part came a little easier. Thinking about composition is always more interesting. I chose to do a high contrast theme of value, and the only problem I came across was that when I added white sections to the drawing it looked bizarre, so even though I wanted to keep them as part of the design I ended up having to darken them a little.
That and my fixative is stuffed in my locker at the downtown campus...
