Day 8. More blending and some texture. I think I need to step back from this one and try something different.

Day 9. New start today.

Day 10.  Spotting local color while paying attention to the value as well. Iv’e push the colours pretty far, but I’m happy with the result.

Awesome! For the sake of clarity I think that when you separate your light and shadow side you should put your core shadow in early. If you do that the Drawing or painting will look 3d immediately rather than flat until you work to make it 3d.

The sooner the 3d illusion works the sooner you can respond to it visually.

Day 15. I almost gave up on this one. Joshua, I see what you are saying about the core shadow. Working in flats like this makes the image flat. I’ve been fighting it ever since. Something to learn.

Today I worked on blending areas a bit better. Also worked to have similar planes have the same/similar hue and value. I think it pushes the form out a bit more. I’ll keep working on it tomorrow.

Day 18. I think I’m done with this one for a bit. I’m just noodling at this point. Time to go back to the large forms and colours with a new image.

Day 19. A new image. Started in colour quickly after getting the rough geometry. Put down the core shadow and radiated out from there.
