Stan…you hit it out of the park on this one!!!! You are a born teacher. Your “twist” on values and composition, presenting them with the value scales and with relative images helps tremendously…this is perhaps one of the most important lessons I've seen yet during my searches on the internet..many thanks. This info should be visible as a reminder to every graphic artist whether fine artist or commercial. Thanks

Josh..your ability to read and put down shapes and forms is quite good; you put down meaningful lines which translate into what's "there". Would you care to comment on this..how you went about developing the ability to simplify and keep clarity? Thanks.
