I'm no expert but I'm fairly good with it. What's the question?

@Prettybratbi1tch I'm not completely sure what you mean. It's not your question, I've just not heard of those things you mentioned. I think I can picture what you're talking about though. When I'm using a color reference I will shade deep colors darker and brighter colors lighter. I'm gonna ask somebody I know about it and see if I can't get a better answer for you though. I'll get back to you. This photo might help you see a little bit about what I mean.

@Prettybratbi1tch My friend responded back. This is what they suggested. He's a professional artist and has a degree in art. [quote]The light (or bright) tones in a color photo are the same thing as the light (or whiter) tones in a black and white. Whatever is the brightest in the color photo should be rendered as a lighter (or whiter) tones in the black and white drawing. A light source hitting a color will lighten that color’s tone to the eye or camera lens. Those areas should be the lighter greys and whites in the drawing. What I would honestly do is put the color photo in photoshop and convert it to black and white if I was going to make a photo-realistic copy; to make it easier. I hope this helps![/quote]
Question for you. What is the graphite rule that you spoke about?

@midnightrose in graphite the light side would be less shaded and the shadow and midtones would be darker than the light side. Thank you for your help really appreciate it.
