Title: Flow and Grace"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. If you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. If you put water into teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Hello
Just wondering how you judge your tones. Mine seem to be too dark or too light. Looking
forward to your next work

I just work from the darkest area and build your value gradually toward the lightest area. You will get a sense of the overall balance along the process.
