This week we looked at tone and value in the lectures. There were tasks to create more thumbnails using certain things, like two-tone and crosshatching. Due to my personal issues, illness and bad time management, I wasn’t able to catch up on this piece of work completely. However, I really wanted to try out the two-tone thumbnails just to see what possibilities it could create for striking thumbnails. So I had a quick go at it, adapting one of my Magical Academia thumbnails to a two-tone study instead.

I found it difficult to begin as I’ve never tried it before and couldn’t see how it would work. So I just started into one and it developed into an interesting piece. I like the atmosphere it creates, although it could be more refined.
