That's a great tip, I can see the value in it's use to check the tone values just as you explain. Brilliant. I can see that you could also just look at paintings and first work through just outlines of value changes to see if I can determine the different value areas then use the tool to check. Thanks.. :) Off Topic At this time I would only be using photoshop as you suggest because I'd like to work through the course in pencil. I've always been overwhelmed by Photoshop. Could you advise on a constructive Photoshop course that would get you up to speed with photoshop in a logical manner. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Marshall, that's brilliant video lesson loved it! Who would have guessed that you invented the antique monochrome test card ! The 15 degree pizza, that's my wife's portion ! Thanks :)

Marshall, thanks for your articulate explanation. Your artwork is amazing. I know this is off topic, but you talk of airbrushing in the past. Could you provide a link so I can visulise what this process involved? Thumbnail drawing looks challenging. It seems you need a good understanding of what you see, to put to paper what you see or imagine. Thanks again.

At LightBox we recorded a walk-through of some of my commercial airbrush jobs, mostly with lessons how different the process was then compared to now. The Proko team recorded it. You should see it by end of year.

The animations are great. 😁 I'm going to talk to my tools. I'll say things like......... "Draw perfect perspective guys"! Then I can say things like, "You Guys are letting me down" ! "Right" and "Simple" and "Freehand" ! Sound good, to me. I fear what's really ahead! 😁 😁 😁

UHM ACTUALLY, instructions were to draw a 1x1 inch rectangle and then divide it into 11 squares. So I started off by drawing a 1x1 rectangle, which technically can be called a square as the sides are equal but all squares are rectangles so nothing wrong here. It was an interesting puzzle as dividing the rectangle into squares can create unexpected rectangles as well. I think I figured out how to get exactly 11 squares into the original 1x1 rectangle. 4 Big squares by adding central horizontal and vertical lines. Then 6 small squares by adding central lines to one of the big squares (gives 4 squares) and then drawing 2 smaller squares into another bigger square. The final 11th bigger square (darker outline) is formed by the smaller squares. Ok, I'll now go and work on the actual assignment...

I’m confused as to how to or where to post “assignments” — where did people place these images used for the latest critique in the perspective course.

Hi Angelica Golindano I think this link to the first lesson is the assignment picture post refered too. https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/perspective-for-drawing-anything/assignments :)

Marshall, thanks for sharing everyones critiques. I found it very difficult choosing a selection of pictures for the first assignment as I'm so near the vanishing point amoung the amazing artists that posted their interesting choices of artwork. It's all an education to me. Thanks Again.
