Final Drafts
- Draw a 1 inch grid on your printout of your portrait and a 2 inch grid on your final copy papers.
-Just focus on the different shapes created by the values and to draw what they saw in each individual box, without worrying about the big picture.
- Paint each value, starting with the lightest. Use a monochromatic color scheme (meaning derived from a single base hue, and extended using its tints and tones (that is, a hue (color) modified by the addition of black and white) to paint the values.
Painting your background
-You should make your solid background a contrasting color with your portrait. It can contrast in one of the following ways:
- Complementary color (opposite color on the color wheel)
- Warm vs Cool color
- Color vs Greyscale
