Value Study Pieces.

Another few days, another new blog post, getting better at motivating myself into writing these, old 'before uni' Hazel would be too scared to write them. Anyway I finally get myself round to posting up my value studies. I kind of struggled with understanding value even though it is a really simple concept, with the first piece it was the first time I'd worked purely with greyscales and b/w so excuse the poorness even though it did end up looking pretty interesting!

The next piece I used a larger brush to create a better shaded effect, although the first piece looked quite nice the second piece looked much better and more what was asked for. I loved the shaded effect on the wig as it makes it look fluffier and obviously a different fabric effect than the clothing.

The third and final value study I did incorporated all the ideas that I wanted into it. This (and the second value) will be the study I will chose to use as the final character design with colour variations, facial studies, model and character sheets. I really liked the way it turned out with the shading and the whole look of the character, she looks overtly male in these clothing. I chose not to keep the crutch as I was having a lot of problems with it. Having seen a few pirate outfits with no crutches I thought I would give it a shot thinking she could have had practise walking on the peg-leg.

I will now move on to posting the colour variations.
