This is a digital painting I am currently working on. I started in grayscale to get the values correct and am working from there. This is a new experience for me, I feel it is gong really well & I am having a lot of fin with digital art.
Here i added some color to get a feel for the values in color in the environment & it seemed much too light overall so I went back to grayscale and began to darken the values.
Here you can see I sharpened the edges and smoothed out the blends while also adding texture and some leaves on the stem.
I'm pretty happy with the overall values not. I will go in and render the rest of the details while also adding the background placing this Jak O' Lantern in an actual scene/environment.
