Wonderful job as always!.. wow!.. may I ask a question.. I have seen your amazing work closer, and I saw you use some black and white values in your sketchs before give them color.. why do you this?.. thanks for sharing!..

Brian Yam said...

Thanks for your comments, bog_art!

Grayscale sketch is the most important step because the values hold the painting together, not necessarily color. Color only enhances the mood, but value holds the forms and structure of a painting. Like the saying, "value does all the work, and color gets all the credit" is very accurate.

A good thing to do after you finish a painting in color is to revert it to grayscale and see if your values hold up and not read flat. It's been a good habit for me to do recently to help me be aware of value relationships in the comps. Hope this helps. :)
