EARLY ACCESS // value studies
Added 2024-06-28 09:00:03 +0000 UTCThis month’s challenge for flame members was on making value studies! It was all about understanding how to capture lighting and the interaction between the shadows and highlights. My artwork is always so much about contours and shapes, so these studies were a totally different mindset for me. It was so interesting to do!
Flame members also get the full process videos, plus a resource that talks you through my process and explains my creative choices in making these studies. It also discusses common mistakes and gives some tips! Those will be posted in a minute.
If you want to participate next month, I’ll be posting next month’s challenge on the 1st ~ just like last month’s challenge, it will include:
Tips and suggestions
Reference images
Inspiration images
A list of resources to help you complete the challenge
A bonus challenge for those who want to invest more time
If you want to participate and you’re not yet a flame member, be sure to upgrade your membership to get access to the challenge! New challenges get posted on the 1st of every month. For now, I hope you like these studies✨

I really love the main image you chose here: The sharpness of the eyelash shadows against the softness of the rest of the image...the amazing way you (always) capture the hair...the whole image has this wonderful glow that feels like the warm sun coming through a cozy window. (Even in Black and white!) Very inspiring. Love it.
