Started doing Level Up on ConceptArt.org… this is going to take me forever, because the first assignment on composition is 20 master studies and it took me a couple weeks to actually sit down and do this first one. Manet, just for values, limited to ~1 hour of work and a fairly small canvas (upon trying to upload to the forum I realized I was still working larger than I ought to have but owell).

I think I had some issues with screen calibration, too, though, because I really thought the light areas were better matched. (I think it’s fairly obvious the difference in skill, but just in case it’s confusing, mine is on the right.)
