Value Study: artist assistant

As an artiste perhaps one of the most key things is knowing how to see and depict tonal values. I have Value Study on both my Ipad and phone recently and I dont have to keep squinting a lot anymore to see value differences! Its a must for all artistes me thinks!

I may be like you, I am a very discriminating app downloader. Initially, I used this app to - try, and moved forward through iOS devices only, to purchasing lifetime, to sharing it as my drawing friends must try, and through multiple quick helpful chats with the creator, to use now - on my OS mac desktop. Shane is the best and each version is a blessing. My favorite new feature is Simplify Shapes. Try it. Preview before purchase. Mac, iPhone, and iPad apps

Like the app so far excited to use it more, but i had to search the internet for descriptions of what the heck all my icons were at the bottom of the screen. And also a small explanation of how to read the value scales because the green highlight threw me for a bit of a loop. as a amateur looking to expand my art skills this app is going to be super helpful but a “how to”/ tool description section would helpful.

Thank you, I use this tool when I need help to sort out certain values. It’s very helpful when working with values 4 5 6. I often have trouble with these.

I already purchased this app and now I’m being asked to purchase it again. Is there a reason?

I use it to plan woodblock prints. Wish you could add an additional color so you can have two shades in different colors

This is great for identifying values and shapes.

This is more helpful than simply going by the use of a black and white photo because it makes a distinction between value without the ambiguity of seeing an area blended. Simple to use. Thanks.

I’ve been looking for YEARS for this exact type of app. Learning how to paint. Needed this for so long.

Great tool to improve your art - to make backgrounds set back and foreground (or focal point) move up. Other interesting tools too - you won’t regret it!
