      Wonderful!

      Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

        So true... All these kids stories from back in the day are so odd when you think about it.

            It's going somewhere
            I think I'm not gonna render it, instead, i'll do more linework with just a soft plain colors with gradiation. :l

                                droped the coloring, went back to older file to take back values ha ha, will try to color after I end the paint totally in grayscale and then watch a tutorial before trying to color so I stop doing experiments and wasting time gaining nothin

                                I need more lights there

                                  Hey Alberto, maybe I can help some here. If you notice the quick paint over I did below, you will see a few things. When I converted your image to greyscale it turned to basically dark on dark which is extremely difficult to pull off. When planning your values try to keep it simple. Think "Is this a light shape on a dark background, or a dark shape on top of a lighter one?" That way it keeps everything clear. I did the quick paint over here and tried to pull out her face some and soften that lighting stripe in the background. It all just depends on where you want the emphasis. John Singer Sergent painted beautiful images with the figure dark and the background light. So that can be done here too. You just need to decide which way you want to go with it.

                                  Hope that helps some... : )

                                  Cheers,
                                  Lee

                                    Thanks you very much! It was brightened already from !http://forum.svslearn.com/uploads/files/1437661186671-values.jpg, and it's now even more, but still need clear value ranges as you pointed out to be readable, the way to pop out the face and the body gotta be stronger, will apply these points, kudos

                                      seems that it reads better on second, but gotta do a better layer than that

                                        it's still really underexposed feeling. I would do a simple 5 value study with no rendering to try and nail it down.
