Value

This artwork for the character 'Fi' from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a good demonstration of the use of shades and tints, with the addition of a harmonious set of values. While the light tints lift the image and give it an airy feeling, the shades counter that and create the contrast drawing your eye to the face and shoulder areas. The value of the colours emphasise the harsh and soft lines of the character and I think this makes for a very pleasing image.
