I thought I had this all planned out beautifully and unfortunately made a mess of it. The remarks I've made against sketch three should apply to sketch two. This remark should apply to sketch three. I hope you're not confused over this but I obviously have been, which I apologise. On sketch three I have increased coverage of the same mid tone and varied the distribution and spacing of the darker tone. In this one you will notice I've taken some liberties with the shapes. For sketch four I have extended the number of tones to four, introducing a lighter tone against the white and deepening the next mid tone to use as a linking factor across composition. The darkest tone is now definitely at the end of the spectrum and again I have adjusted the spacing between the various shapes to create a sort of stepping-stone effect. You'll see some even greater liberties here with the shapes.
