Hi there, Liron here!
In today’s video we’ll answer the question - how dark should you paint?

I’m sure you found yourself in a situation when you were going to paint a shape, a shadow, a detail, and toy just couldn’t tell - how dark should I go?

Well, fear not! In this video I’ll provide three possible approaches & solutions to this problem.

Here’s the gist of the options:

1. Match the values
2. Use 3 DISTINCT values
3. Consider the COMPOSITION

4. Bonus concept - the “Unfocal” point 😁

I hope you find these helpful, keep painting - you can do this!
