Marc really has to upload a new image of the apple assignment. I can't imagine that it's pleasant to work with rotten stuff. XD
Really cool idea, Scott. I think the apples are a bit too less saturated in comparison to the red handkerchief and the bowl. Maybe you could increase the saturation and maybe add some wrinkles to the apples?
Other than that, really cool!!! 
You'd be surprised. I actually find beauty in the normally repulsive and creepy things. (What does that say about me...?)
I was torn with the napkin. I felt it may be too saturated but at the same time I wanted it to contrast the fruit. Looking at it again today it keeps drawing my eye away. I'll update it and add some wrinkles.
I feel I may have overworked some areas.
Chose Nick/Ron to make me older because we have the same smile. Somehow I came out looking older than him even before I grayed my hair. (Speaking of which, forgive my disheveled hair.)
Feedback?
Yes! Now they look really rotten and the focus is on the apples! Very well done.
Liquify is an interesting feature but I am still not a fan of the smudge tool. Spent all day with trying to work out different source photos to work with my picture but smudge was the death of each one. Ultimately went with a skull because I knew the face feature on liquify would come in handy. I also decided to cheat a bit and bring in the burn tool just to complete the look. If I stare at this any longer I'm pretty certain I can get by without PS by just taking a new selfie.
Plus side is I am learning and in this case fortifying what I do and do not like.
1pt Perspectives. Had some fun with the last one. Hope to start in on 2pt and the room tomorrow.
Nice perspective studies. You even did the circle. That's always my trouble child.
Ya it wasn't fun but I really wanted to tackle it because whenever I do perspectives my math brain takes over as does the perfectionist side. In the 1pt perspective lesson Marc is drawing a train track and it brought back painful memories of my brain bursting while trying to calculate the specific distance between evenly spaced beams going into the distance... I'm going to go cry, curled up in the corner now. Haha. Jokes aside I am actually looking forward to tackling it again. I think it'll be significantly easier calculating everything via Photoshop instead of constantly drawing and erasing on paper.
I might just do that for the 2pt drawings today.
MUHAHAHA! Looking forward to what you'll submit for critique tomorrow!
Now I feel like I'm going to disappoint you because all the perspective stuff was pretty much all I could get done this week.
I could probably churn out something quick for next week by replicating photos but I would much rather force myself down the difficult path and strictly go by the lessons. Maybe both. I don't know.
In regards to tomorrow's stream I might be able to finish the tracks if I lose sleep and dump the child on my wife. Joking/ Not Joking. Haha.
Nah, no point to crunch. Benefit of this school you don't get marked down for not submitting a weekly assignment.
Ya. I was toying with the idea if I should submit anything at all because at its current state it is just a study and I really don't have any questions regarding it. Don't want to take time from others just to pop my head in for a pat on the back.
Good call. You have us (other students) for that purpose 
Chipping away at it.
That's so great 
I hope that this could turn out into an amazing landscape !! 
Landscapes are not a strong suit for me but that is the intent plus some characters. 
If I cannot capture it the way I want to now then I'll return to it later in the course.
I'm done with this for now but as I said I have big plans for it.
