This is my Value scale. The picture might not be so great sorry. I have done a value scale before and I find doing it quite tedious if you do it the right way. Starting with the darkest end I made it as dark as possible by cross hatching and working my way up to pretty much black. Then you work your way down from black. In the next box you start kind of light and work your way up to what you think is one step down from black. You do this all the way down the scale. I found you have to go back and tweak some of the boxes to make sure they are not the same or really similar.
Color wheel. I like painting more then drawing with pencil, and I like mixing colors more then shading boxes. some of the color mixing was tough trying to make a blue with magenta and cyan you kind of have to mix it a few times and get the ratio just right.
I like working with paint better because of the way you manipulate paint. The lines that you smoother for me. I love drawing and painting both and some days I might say I love drawing more, but most days it's painting. I really like mixing colors and finding the right one that goes with the composition.
The most important discovery was the truth about primary colors. That is that cyan, magenta and yellow are the true primary colors because they make black, while red, yellow, and blue, make a dark brown. If cyan magenta and yellow are primary colors then red, blue and green are secondary colors.
