This guide is AMAZING! I’ve seen so many tutorials on this and no one actually explains how to see value in color. They skip right over it. Thank you for this!!!
OMG !! Thanks !! Just bought a grey scale to help me with getting a stronger "depth" in my pictures. Current pic Im doing is greyscale but obviously not picking or blending my greys correctly !!!
So, do you have a recomendation find value by only eyes... I wanna sketch with finelinner pen.. quickly sketch... so..I really wanna find value of 2 color in my view to decide how many cross harching for that color area... (Sorry if my English bad, English is not my native langugue!)
No problem at all! I completely understand. Cross hatching can be pretty difficult at first. The more you practice using values, the easier they are for your eyes to see. Perhaps I’ll make a video about that sometime. North hank you for watching!
Hi there! I just used a print out of a gray scale and value finder I found on Google 😊 Sometimes I use my iPad. On there, I use Procreate to see my colors in gray scale more easily.
Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful. I didn’t adjust the white balance on my iPad before using this technique. I guess I just trusted in the screen and it worked pretty well.
Hi, thanks for watching! I used mainly paint directly from the tubes, yet I honk I may have added a little white to some in some places to lighten the value
Of course! I can share some in some future videos, but you can also check out my website www.jennariceart.com or Instagram @jennariceart to see more in the meantime!
No@@MD-tj4br but I see that instead of bringing a constructive explanation and answering a genuine question from a beginner, you clearly rather use your precious time to a cynical comment. Well that’s a choice. “Mastering values in black and white is very important to mastering values in colors”, I understand that, but why in the first place do we need to know the values of the different colors? How does it help the artist?
You are better off color sampling your color with the color picker then look at the L in LAB results to get your value. It's a simple enough conversion from a 1-100 (L value) to 1-10 (paint) value scale. It would be necessary to adjust the brightness so that you have something really pure white in the shot (best would be TI-white since you're painting and that's your brightest value.) So that spot of TI-white in the pic will read like 95-100 in the L value after your adjustment. You really screwed your experiment up by taking your value scale photo in a different shot, then boosted the yellow to 10, why!? I guarantee you that yellow is not a 10.
Thanks for your input! You have good points. For me, it’s not always about being technical - I just go with how I see things. It’s more about the end result of the painting

may i know what is the name of the app you used to find the value?

Where dis you get the value chart
I found it on google, honestly. I’d just google “grayscale value chart”
Thank you!! Very 'value'able lesson.
What was the program you were using!
great information. I am having trouble with values and this helped.
I’m so glad you found this helpful. Thank you for watching!
I feel like an idiot but how does finder help you determine value, when paint is opaque?
Great Lesson, thanks! I subscribed😇
Great tool really helps me to choose the right colours.I would recommend this to any artist.
That’s awesome, thank you so much! ☺️
Great video. how did you adjust the white balance on procreate? thanks!
Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful. I didn’t adjust the white balance on my iPad before using this technique. I guess I just trusted in the screen and it worked pretty well.
How do you make these saturated colors lighte or darken since they tend to repeat.
Hi, thanks for watching! I used mainly paint directly from the tubes, yet I honk I may have added a little white to some in some places to lighten the value
Very helpful!
Great tips. Thanks so much for sharing !
No problem! Thank you for watching!
Very useful, thank you!
Thank you for this video.I find it very interesting!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad it was helpful ☺️

Jenna Rise,could you show an example of your work besides the ones that are there.?
Of course! I can share some in some future videos, but you can also check out my website www.jennariceart.com or Instagram @jennariceart to see more in the meantime!

Thank you! I'm so glad my video was helpful!
The way u were holding the finder over the color was casting a shadow over it
Very good video...thank you kindly
I’m so glad I could help! You are so welcome ☺️
Wonderful trick / tutorial for finding color values. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad my video was able to help you!
What is the use of knowing a color’s value? That’s a genuine question btw :)
Did you watch the video on mute?

@@caro4284 if you want to read that deeply into my comment …ok. But what you are asking is specifically addressed in the video.
I am doing an old roof, and the 3 main values are 70%-60%-20%. How do you apply this info to your picture ?
Ahhh !! Think it finally sunk in !!!
Why you totally looked like the emoji 😂 this was exactly what I need, thanks 🙏🏾 everyone else only seems to talk about black and white value finding 😅
You’re so welcome- I’m so glad my video was helpful! Thanks for watching 😊🙏
