Digital Treatment of Audery Pen Sketches

I did these after the fact so my reference on skin tones was not completely correct. I think they produced a pleasing result nevertheless.

Tower Grove park

Above is a sketch of a couple at Tower Grove Park resting under a tree. I tried to resolve the basic composition with 5 simple values shown below.

Digital Rework of Violet

In working on this I decided to unify and simplify the values a bit. Below  is shown in the swatches a scheme with 5 basic values. Coming up with the palette required a bit of tonal shifting, but it did overall brighten  and clarify things up a bit.

Here is a second drawing from the same session. Again the version at the bottom is reworked.

The value scheme is brightened a bit separating and distinguishing the tones a bit allowing the image to look less muddy, brighter and more clarified.
