Working on those Edges and Values

The past two weeks I have been grinding through a few exercise mainly honing my understanding the fundamental of values and edges. A mixture of assignments from Schoolism and Ctrl+paint. I have definitely learnt a lot of things from these assignments not only did i find them challenging but has helped me to find ways of painting with a more efficient painting process and a better mindset.  

The discovery of the pen tool in the toolkit has changed the way i paint and has helped me greatly to form a variety of soft and hard edges within my work.  

Another area that i would definitely would like to put more attention to is the local colour and contrast of objects at different distances. I currently find distribution of details and textures quite a challenge to balance to a degree that i am satisfied with.

My goal for the upcoming weeks are to work on getting better at relighting scenes and studying different lighting scenarios and source.
