was sketching and thought that I could implement lineweight based on hierarchy.
Would appreciate any feedback.

Maybe the thick lines could have cut into the shape a bit more. The thick lines is almost exclusively the outlines. Other than that you did a good job i think.

First Attempt!

Nice lines, you are definetly on the right track with the spidey hand! Maybe the fingers should follow the same direction more, I feel that the pinky goes against the rythm that the underarm and the indexfinger creates.

I think I finally did OK this time with the boots. Please let me know what you think!
Okay. Today I'm drawing those @#%#& boots with tapered lines then. I'm not giving up! 😉

Im having a hard time keeping the proportions right with these swoopy lines, the envelope-thing might help me a bit, good advice! Im not ready to share anything jet because i know i can do it better than what I've done so far. I think the step from drawing a simple pear to these boots was a big leap. The snail was a bit more beginner friendly for sure.

This is mr Asaro Mcthreedeeprint everybody! He's a friend of Marco Bucci who got a great course here on proko for anybody who wants to learn to simplyfy the human head! He turned out a bit wonky, but hey! I started the 14 days challenge! Not every day will be a masterpiece i guess, but i will try to keep up!

Anyone here from Marshall's Kley Inkmaster class? As much as I love the forgiving nature of graphite, I'm trying to be more proficient in ink to get more mileage out of my lines. This was a most excellent and really, really challenging evening.
I sketched in blue pencil, found the shadow shapes, outlined the vegetable, and tried lines of varying density to convey the 5 shades.
Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit! Feedback is most welcome :)
PS: the camera did crush my shadows a bit more than my observed shadows, and there was definitely a bounce light on that onion!

When you can't decide on Level 1 or Level 2.
I thought it might be fun to try it on gray paper.
Everyone's work is inspiring! Happy to be learning with you all!

Probably too late, but here are my last attempts. I would have worked on the portrait a couple more hours, if I had a couple more hours...

Be sure to deactivate all image processing when scanning. If you can't see the texture of the paper when scanning, then there are some processing beeing made to your image.

You might have done a similar "mistake" as me. The Light part is very close to the highlights and hard to see the difference. I went back and added som more tone to the Light of my pear, and I think it made a big difference. Check my previous post if you are curious. Clear highlights make a drawing much more pleasing to look at.
But overall very nice drawings, it's clear you are very good at capturing the shapes of both the face and the pear!

The form is lost a bit and blending with the cast shadow on the table. Look closely on the reference, wich one is Lighter?

This will be my final pear I think. I did this after I watched the demo.
Some good advices I got from the demo that i kept in my head while drawing was to keep solid edges like a cut-out, and to first make one solid shape of shadow, to later devide them in two.
I surely have a tendency of wanting to straight things up. My pear should defenetly be leaning more to the right.
Really looking forward to the next exercise!

Looking back at this i can see that the Light area is TOO light. I will give it some more shading to make the highlights pop more. I will post version 2 when its done, probably tomorrow.

Here is my first attempt at the pear. I do have a couple of questions:
1. When shading, Proko seem to keep the strokes in the same direction, is it ok to change direction to accommodate for ease of the strokes?
2. Can we change the paper orientation?
Good luck to everyone. I can see you guys are putting a great effort. It is inspiring!

Nice, just some firendly input for you!:
Still very round, try doing them even blockier.
Try avoiding outlines too. Make contrast between the pear and the white background, or make a darker backgrond to achieve contrast.
Try again and watch the reference carefully.
Good luck!

Some pre-demo pear drawings. A pair of them (no pun intended!)
I look forward to watching the demo now and redoing one or both of them. I recognize that I need to work on sharpening my edges and not over rendering like I may have on these. I want to quicken my pace and stick to the 5 value limit.

One more for my pear-art collection! Focused more on the agular planes this time, kind of lost a bit of the shape in the process.

The upper right part looks great! Did you get a little bored further down? Overall, good job!

I like this one! You nailed the exercise and it's clear you drew from the photo and not the example in the video! Good job!
