    OMG The timing on me squinting and you changing it to black and white was so perfect! like holy shit i thought i went color blind for a moment!

    Thanks for your explanation, I am a portrait artist, and to squint is more than important to me, for the first step.

    Oh my gosh. This helped me so much. I have been trying to figure this out for a while, and this is the first explanation I have seen where I am beginning to understand it. Thank you so much.

    I've watched other vids about value but still can't put it into practice no matter how hard I try. This is the only video that teached me HOW to see in value. Agh, and to think that it is as simple as squinting! I practiced earlier and saw how I improved a lot immediately. Thank you so much! No words can measure the amount of gratitude I feel ;v; Will definitely check out more of your vids!

    You're welcome Ash! Yes value is king and is the first step. Look at the great colorist of the past. Monet, Sorrolla, Sargent. All were excellent in value and tonal composition. That's not by accident :)

  • @JessicaCinNY

    Excellent explanation! Thank you! I'm able to grasp the concept of value when it's explained and pointed out to me, but still struggle to see values on my own. The steps you laid out are very helpful, particularly looking for borders. Thanks again!

    2) When I change my settings to prevent that redirecting to spam, I landed on a site, same name as yours but totally unrelated. It looks like your site has been hijacked.
    Do you have another site to go read more about what you explain?
