Value Study

Today's Doodlin. Value and Lighting study. Using a simple brush with opacity, building up the shadows and highlights. I was trying to concentrate on the ambient occlusion and was aiming to do only an "amb occ" pass, but it turned into a full lighting study. Her face has come out a little different to the ref but I'm pleased with it so I left it as is. I also spent far too long on the hair and shouldn't have got so detailed.
Note to self, "Keep the brush big in future!"
