It's natural. You may be straining your eyes a little much. You can never eliminate color nor would you want to. It's just a tool. LIke any tool, or any skill takes time and practice and repetition.

[@pobrelobo6830]

Thank you very much for your tutorials. I wanted to visit your web site www.freshdesigner.com but it's impossible. Is it still abailable?

[@SquidkidMega]

would you say that establishing value is a lot like establishing proportion, in that one value is relative to the values around it?

[@SquidkidMega]

I agree, you should narrate audio books :)
