Here’s a critique clip from the level 2 drawing basics project on simplifying portraits using shapes, values, and edges. I chose this critique because it emphasizes the significance of considering the value range when drawing anything. This student's example shows the loss of visual information when extreme values are used without halftones. Get more tips and the full critique by checking out the premium course linked above.
