Line and Value Project
First, choose a picture of something that you like and that has good value AND line quality.
No Anime/Fantasy/Cartoons!
Second, on a 9x12" sheet of paper, using pencil, do a complete line drawing of whatever you chose, leaving a 4"x6"
rectangle that you will render completely.
Third, create AND vary other blocks of value that are behind the line drawing.
Make sure that the composition is neat and clean.
Below are examples of a complete Line/Value Drawing.

The piece below is unfinished, but notice great contrast in value and the excellent balance between the realism of the hand the simplicity of the line work.
