If you are learning to draw or paint, value studies are one of the most reliable ways to improve both your work and how you read reference images. Many artists use photo editors to convert a colour photo to black and white, but that only shows part of the picture. Value Study takes that idea a step further by letting you break an image down into simple value groups, compare tones, and see how light and shadow are really organised.
This is the 2nd launch from Value Study. View more
Value Study
Launched this week
Value Study is a small, focused app for artists who want to see light and shadow more clearly.
It began as a simple way to make value studies easier and is now used by thousands of artists on iOS, Android, and macOS.
As of January 2026, the Android version is fully stable alongside the long-running iOS app.
The new website offers guides and reference material to support learning. The next step is working with schools and art teachers to bring value study in more classrooms.
