I tried recreating this image taken from this site for practicing digital painting with values. This post is part of my journey to become an illustrator some day.
Goals for this practice:
- See how far I can use values in greyscale
- Experiment with brushes
- Improve my digital art skills overall.
I know the background sucks. The end image is the my current skill limit at the moment. I forgot to document other steps in the process as I went along creating the finished image.
Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

I just want to see how much I can capture the values needed to produce a close to decent replica of the original. As soon as I master value painting, I can proceed to learning how to color.
The Fate series is one of my most loved anime series. I kept finding myself being drawn to the storyline line and music. It's one of the sources to my inspirations. I do recommend the series for any anime lover out there.
It's the first time I uploaded an original image using what I painted on photoshop. You can check out my other doodle works here. If you like my content, I do appreciate the follow and thank you for stopping by this thread. I appreciate your feedbacks. Have a good day Steemians!
