The secret to perfect black and white artwork is the use of URD. This can help you to create a more professional looking piece of art and also creates a better composition.

Upper Right Density is the key to creating black and white art that looks great. Black and white artwork does not need to be bland or boring. It can be just as exciting as color and there are ways to make your black and white artwork pop with dynamic compositions. How do you do this? With the use of Upper Right Density (URD).

URD stands for unit of release density. This is a value that must be known when making black and white artwork, but few people are aware of it or even understand what it is. Once you understand URD, you will know the secret to making high quality artwork that looks flawless.

The purpose of this blog post is to explain what URD is, why it is important, and how to use it effectively when working on black and white imagery.

One of the most important ingredients to creating perfect black and white artwork is knowing how to use URD. The best way to explain what URD is, is by describing it as a mood. A mood that should be used when working with black and white artwork.

Urgency: Work needs to be done NOW. You have only a very short time to get this job done. This could be because of time restrictions that have been set on you, or because you feel the pressure of having a deadline looming over your head.

Tension: You’re at odds with someone or something. You may not feel comfortable with the project or client that you are working with, or maybe you don’t feel like the work you are doing is useful or significant enough for what you want to accomplish in life. Maybe you’re feeling pressured by your boss to do something against your own morals or beliefs.*

Dear Art Enthusiasts,

URD is the abbreviation for Utmost Respect and Dedication with regards to your artwork. In this blog I shall be writing about URD. I have seen many people make artworks which are amazing and inspiring but most fall short of actually being “perfect”. This is because of all the fuss about what medium to use, what tools to use, what paper to use etc. etc… When in fact URD will get you to a level where none of these things matter.

This blog will be all about how to apply URD in order to make the best art possible. One thing I will always stress is that the best artwork is made by those who are pure in heart and mind, so please enjoy this blog and try not to make it a goal in itself but more of a learning experience.

Hi, I am a graphic designer and I have been working in the digital art field for 3 years now. I have always loved drawing and painting since I was a kid so it was only natural that I would continue to do it as an adult. The first thing that drew me to digital art was the fact that I could get better results much faster than traditional methods and it was more fun for me because I didn’t have to wait for anything to dry.

Nowadays I enjoy using my own original characters that are based on my hobbies, interests, and other things from my everyday life, but there is one thing about them all which has remained constant throughout the years: they are black and white!

I started working with black and white artwork after seeing a tutorial of sorts on DeviantArt by a user named “NaughtyNathan” back in 2011. He taught me how to use the curve adjustment layer in Photoshop CS5 Extended and how to adjust it using URD (undertone richness) which is a feature only available in this version of Photoshop. It’s one of those things that you often don’t know you need until you see it and then you can’t live without it!

So, with the help of NaughtyNathan’s tutorial, I

URD is the accepted abbreviation in the graphic arts industry for “underlying reality” or “underlying reason for.” It is another way of describing the concept of drawing what you see, rather than what you think you see.

Trying to draw what you see is a very difficult thing. You have to be able to look at the subject, and then look at your paper and make sure they are going to match up.

It’s easy to get caught up in all the technical aspects of creating artwork: how to use various pencils, which ones to sharpen, etc.. After all, you will never get better if you don’t have a good foundation. So why am I talking about URD?

Because it is more important than any other aspect of creating artwork! If you can’t draw what you see, no amount of pencils or sharpening technique will save your work.

What does drawing what you see mean? It means that when you are looking at something and drawing it, your reference point has nothing to do with anything else on your page (except perhaps the horizon line). Your pencil point should not be moving around on your paper as you work. It should move within the boundaries of your reference object or area. This gives a
