Value Thumbnails

 

We talk often in my classes about the importance
of doing quick value thumbnails before painting.
I find that it gives you a chance to work out
design and composition issues ahead of time,
making the doing of the painting more fun!

The above is something I’m working on from this quick sketch.

Just a few seconds with some markers
can make a huge difference!
