Something I like to do to practice my perception of value and value range is to watch old film and tv shows that were shot in black and white. And as an added bonus it’s pretty awesome seeing their deliberate staging, wardrobe, and composition choices when they’re conscious of the fact that the values need to read on screen to an audience who will see it in black and white. Of course this is still the case today but something about seeing how they made decisions around value and readability during that time can really drive it home, or at least it has for me.
0:42 slow as much as you can,they're different until they touched each other Edit: since people keep trying to be smart,yes i know how it works, i'm just showing that you don't notice until they touch each other
I find it difficult to be consistent with a specific value. For example, if the value under the chin and behind the ear is same and I am using just a single shade of pencil, I find it difficult to keep them same. I face this special when i am doing the details. Any tips?
My tip would be: Try starting with just two values: if you're working with pencil, then it's best to start with the lightest light value and the lightest shadow value (or you just leave the light part blank for now). Draw in all the shadow shapes in that one shadow value. You then have a baseline from where to start and deepen the shadows where they need it. That way you can constantly compare different areas and judge whether one is darker than the other or not (by taking the value context effect from the video into consideration). It's basically what one does when painting: first block in color and go from there. It's always easier to manipulate stuff that's already on the canvas than to add in completely new things.
I am so broke that i can't even afford for a pencil I have to be dependent on my parents for a while I am sry.. But i will be present next year in premium.. Thx ✨

color pick the squares in an image editor and you'll see that they're still the same color. It's all in your eyes
Your eyes are deceiving you, they're the same
that's what I'm learning now and you upload a video on it boy what the hell boy
Popped up at the right time!
