Sooo here's the black and white tonal study thing. It's not the best cause I kinda suck at tonal studies heh. Ah well maybe my teacher will have some suggestions...Related content

That's an amazing piece of work, I like how the fish fits in quite nicely within the pattern of the sea.

Really nice work! I like how the tones aren't perfectly flat, that they still have some texture to them. The highlights on the fish really make it look wet and shiny ^-^ I do agree with *karooble about the contrast thing, but it's still a pretty fine piece in my opinion!

Thanks! Yeah, I plan to fix the tonal problem when I bring it into colour, and hopefully it'll turn out okay! I'm going to darken the inks for the fish too so the pattern stands out a bit more.

I think it's coming along nicely! The most common difficulty with value studies, in my experience, is to make everything too mid-range. Note, for example, that the grays in the wave are almost the same brightness as the grays in the background. I downloaded the image and bumped its contrast way up in Photoshop so you can see what I mean: [link] It makes a pretty big difference!
This still looks great, though. I can't wait to see the colored version!

Oh wow! Thanks so much! That helps a lot, I'm going to reference this when I do the final.

Waaah, I dunno, I think the tonal version looks really nice. 
The only thing I can think of to suggest is taking a look around the edges of the picture that meet the dark background. There's a bit of white spots in some places that could be darker, maybe?

Oh yeah! You're right. I kinda did a shitty job, but I'm going to try to fix that on the coloured version! I will keep an eye on that when I do it. THANKS!
