      Ali gave me somegood advise on my walking stick drawing. He suggested i push the darkest values a little more in the shadows between the body segments and around the legs.

      I did this and it certainly made quite a difference in the overall look of the drawing. I also darkened the shadows under the legs and body.

      The Drawing on the left is the revised version.

      • Larry, you’ve really transformed the contrast in your drawing—I absolutely love it. Your animal drawings are incredibly realistic 😊🙏

        Larry, this is exactly why I always encourage making small adjustments instead of changing everything at once. 😊
        The revision has made a noticeable difference. Those darker shadows give the insect much more depth and help separate the body segments beautifully. It’s a great example of how a small value change can completely transform a drawing.
        I also want to say thank you for sharing both versions. It helps everyone in the community see how powerful values and contrast can be. Fantastic work, Larry. Keep it up! 👏

      • HI @larry , I wrote before that It’s fascinating to see how something so tiny reveals such intricate textures when scaled up. Even more now. I’m a great fan of yours. 👏
