2D Design Blog 4
Blog 4 Due Thursday, Mar 1st
Value is an important element to most every artwork and the hardest to achieve. Do you feel as though the value studies are equal or is one more successful? Explain.
I think both of the values studies are successful, however, my eye is drawn to the Leonardo piece because I like the contrast between the light and dark in the bottom of the drawing and I think it shows more depth in regards to value.
I feel Leonard's value study is more successful because he's able to get a better grasp on values. The first piece feels flat, where as the second has a great depth of feel thanks to his strategic use of value on the hands--specifically. Both, however, are great renderings.
Definitely Leonardo's piece is stronger in contrasting because it makes a more realistic subject than Raphael. The shading used in Leonardo's art is much more advanced and draws attention to it over Raphael's.
Although I like both pieces of art I feel that Leonardo has more depth and uses better values to contrast the hands at the bottom of the piece. Raphael's artwork would be more appealing if there were a few more dark values used in or around the hand.
Both pieces seem to use value effectively, having a good range from light to dark. However Leonardo's piece has smoother transitions between the values.
I like both pieces, they both show good value but I believe Leonardo's is better, it contains more detailed work and more values and is more realistic in my opinion. Hannah Hudnall
Leonardo has greater contrast, so to the eyes the image appears to pop out more. With Raphael there is less contrast, so the image by comparison is flatter.
While raphael's work is more focused on lines and somewhat more realistic, leonardo has value down. his use of the white (chalk?) adds a more visible shape to the hands, and the subtle, "rounded" shadows seem more natural.
Although Raphael's work shows a good amount of value, I believe Leonardo's piece shows value in a more sucessful way. His piece looks almost as if its three-dimensional, thus his use of value is better compared to Raphael's.

I believe Leonardo's piece is better at portraying values. There seems to be much more depth.
