Value Grouping & How to Create your own Value References for Lighting

Added 2023-11-08 23:02:07 +0000 UTC

Hello Hello Hello!

A little surprise here, but I thought I'd share a quick tutorial on one of the biggest concepts and strategies for making illustrations that I am including in my course!

The key is to keep your values in the right places! Group them! Make good looking shapes!

Using 2, 3, and 5 values alone, you can very accurately depict any image, in any lighting scenario. All you need to do is do a bit of planning and/or get some references to keep you aligned as you work!

In this video, I share a bit of how I am checking my own work as I illustrate. It's much more raw and impromptu but I kind of like it....It feels like you guys are with me during the creation process of my artwork! I hope you all enjoy it as well.

I have also attached the example Images that I generated from Midjourney AI. You will also find several other examples of what I am talking about with the Posterization with professional artwork and photographs to give you an idea of how to start "seeing" value.

Working on getting more stuff into the drive as we speak! Got tons of footage rendering and churning out.

And lastly....THANK YOU To all of those who supported me in any way with my course Pre-order. You have no idea how much this has helped me finally move on. I get to work on this course that I am super proud of, create my first masterpiece, play with a brand new app soon, and more. I'm extremely grateful for the life that I am able to live. It was a co-creation between me and everyone who has supported me these past 6 years. And there is so much more to come!

Much Love,

Josh
