                        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

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.

                                            won't rest yet, I know what to do next, fix left eye (painted over it without accurate brush and messed it a bit xD)
                                            work on hands and sand chrono
                                            draw all small details, then render

                                            then add more local contrasts to everywhere

                                            oh, and just realiced that the background is a map of the composition narrative, face to chrono to the face again in that bg circles with help of the shadow

                                            dat classes! 😛
