Tutorial 71 - Tonal Blocking (Patreon)

To quickly suggest tone we can block in our forms using rough directional strokes. They should be loose and don't necessarily have to follow the contours of the form. Very useful for quick observational studies of a subject, tonal blocking indicates the light and shadow forms giving us a good overall feel for the drawing and help us identify problematic areas and find focal points. From here we can develop a more detailed drawing.
