Underpainting




O.K., Karin, bear with me - I think I am almost there.

1). It seems that what I have to do is reduce the value range here. Specifically the forehead is too dark. Using the value range in your own demonstration (I've taken the liberty of posting your palette below) I should flatten the forehead to a value of 2, maybe 1 in the darkest shadows. This will help me avoid mudiness in my shadows at a later stage of the picture.

2). Get rid of the "black holes" - especially in the hat and the hair on the right side.

3). Regarding the texture in the skin - I'll try and fudge that one in a later layer.
