In reply to MAI NGUYEN.

Hello Mai,
Many thanks for your comment and for subscribing to HowToPastel. I am glad this blog post will be helpful to you. Along with seeing and simplifying values, looking at negative space really will help with drawing and sorting out the chaos and complexity that you see.

Thanks for sharing Gail!! Between seeing your step by step and also seeing a post showing work by Mike Beeman showing his step by step, I feel that I HAVE to try both of your techniques!! They will work together very well, I think. By the way, you make me smile. Thanks!!!
