    Thanks for spreading one of the few real lessons I learned in art school. "Don't draw what you THINK you see, draw what you ACTUALLY see." Well done, sir.

    Wow! This explains why, when I attempt to locate values or shades in a reference photo using Photo Shop, the values always appear to be too drastically dark. Now I see that these values are relative to the values surrounding them. I think you just changed my life. Thank you, JD!

      JD Hillberry i found interesting that the tonal card was a cool grey like the reference photo, but your drawing was a warm grey. Would it be possible to get the shading card tool in warm and cool grey?

  • @mcquinn01
    @mcquinn01 9 лет назад +4

    Hi JD, I have seen the squares example on a screen before but I never realized until you explained it here how it would be a serious hazard to realistic drawing. It makes the illusion all the more fascinating. I now consider the value-finder tool as a must-have tool. Even though I live in a large UK city (Sheffield) I just know from experience I would be wasting my time going into town to look for something like that so if I don't find it on-line I will just have to make my own - which may not be a bad thing since a DIY value-finder would match my own pencils. Watching art advice videos on RUclips leads me to believe that in the US you have a great art store in every town, sadly in England, outside of London, all we have are small art sections in the corners of stationary shops.

    • @JDHillberry1
      @JDHillberry1  8 лет назад +1

      +mcquinn01 Thanks for writing. Actually, I think most artist in the US order online these days. I offer the value finder is included in my bonus pack along with lots of other hard to find items. And yes... I ship to the UK. Below is link that explains everything in the bonus pack that will figure the exact shipping cost to your location. www.jdhillberry.com/Shipping_Kit_outside_USA.htm

  • @michaelskywalker3089
    @michaelskywalker3089 4 года назад +5

    This video was very helpful. I always suspected that my perception of gray values was not absolute and depended too heavily on the adjacent shading. The insight that reflected light areas are perceived to be as bright as halftones but are actually darker is key. People use blending sticks now but the aspects of Chamois, felt and bamboo are interesting, especially when working with charcoal as charcoal probably makes a blending stick spent in a few passes.

    • @ItsAYGIbaby
      @ItsAYGIbaby 2 года назад +1

      I love blending sticks/stumps for smaller areas, but for bigger areas like backgrounds this method is very useful.

    It’s now 2019 - better late than never..... I’ve seen the demonstration of the squares being the same value before with other art instructors but I really didn’t see the whole picture (yuk yuk) until this one. Thanks for being a great teacher. I’ve used your book forever and it never stops helping. I can’t wait to use bamboo now. - Linda

    Thank you! I clicked to learn about the grayscale trick, but I learned something amazing about blending tool options. This video was incredibly valuable for me. As someone who doesn't want to use chamois anymore , I can't wait to use the new blender. I'm off to your site to check out your store. Happy to support you for making such a detailed and thoughtful video.

    • @JDHillberry1
      @JDHillberry1  6 лет назад

      Hi M M. The Bamboo blender will give a slightly rougher texture than a chamois. If you want the smoothest textures without using a chamois, I suggest a foam blender like these:
      www.walmart.com/ip/BMC-50-Disposable-Dual-Sided-Sponge-Tipped-Makeup-Eyeshadow-Applicator-Tool/40305634?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1062&adid=22222222227027971735&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=55447696031&wl4=pla-91502008871&wl5=9028890&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112549812&wl11=online&wl12=40305634&wl13=&veh=sem .
      You can also get larger foam makeup applicators to use in larger areas. These are much cheaper than purchasing foam blending materials that are made for pastels.

    • @fanooch1
      @fanooch1 4 года назад +1

      No no no. I have used chamois for years washing cars. When they get dirty, you can wash them in soap and water and then let them dry. You can make them soft again by working them in your hands. Do NOT put any kind of oil on the chamois.
