I like how you set this up to be at a pace that's easy enough to stay with.

Purely by selfish accident, I assure you

Following @JerrySketchyArt example breaking down something that looks like it would be very complicated to do with notes. It definitely made me less anxious to start.

Composition and value study with my trusty "giant wobbly no details allowed brush." Noticing now that I made that background tower too prominent. Noted...

[Erin.Cortese]

@JerrySketchyArt Wow, composition and colour value! This looks great.

[braden H]

@JerrySketchyArt Nice! I think you did a good job of capturing the mood 'n values 'n such.

[Erin.Cortese]

Here is my subjective master study, I worked my butt off on this one! I really love this environment, so I decided to challenge myself and go pretty detailed. Out of habit I started sketching in an orange pencil, so I just stuck with it and did my values with it too.

@Erin-Cortese Wow! This is great and I will definitely have to step up my game

[Coley]

@Erin-Cortese fabulous !

@JerrySketchyArt Excellently done. I like your choice of simplified colors. And I like the look of the "giant wobbly brush w/o details!"

[ArtofAleksey]

I tried to limit myself with values and not use any lines. I am amazed at how it ended up feeling. Contrast is a powerful tool...

[Heather Boyd]

@Aleksey I love it!

[ArtofAleksey]

@Heather-Boyd ty! I am surprised at how amazing that grid is

[Heather Boyd]

@Aleksey what do you mean? Like how the grid helped you draw?

[ArtofAleksey]

@Heather-Boyd yes! Lined things up well with it

[Heather Boyd]

@Aleksey Yes I found it incredibly helpful with my Master Copy in Creative Composition Class.

[Susan Marks]

@Aleksey This is awesome how strongly the image is portrayed by values alone.

There's a lesson here, right?

[ArtofAleksey]

@Susan-Marks yeah i am too lazy to color

[demotlj]

Mine is not nearly as detailed as all of yours but I chose it because I have tried to figure out how to do night scenes without having them become too drab and murky, and I liked the colors and atmosphere in this scene from a book by Lita Judge so I decided to give it a try.

Here’s the original

Here’s my copy:

[braden H]

@demotlj Nice! I think you did a really good job capturing the atmosphere and overall feeling

Did you learn anything in particular about rendering night scenes?
