I've made these a while ago before watching the demo and now I can see so many mistakes that I've done and also after watching the demo. I think I will try to sketch more from different photos and think more about the flow and lines than about the contour

Here are my level 1 assignments before watching the demo. The boots were really tiring and I needed to be very careful with the laces, I couldn't use my whole arm for them. I still think they turned out quite alright, even though I struggled a little haha I would love some feedback!

The right boot is wonderful ! Good job on laces ! For the boot at the left, the front part look a bit flat. I think you could make it overlap the back part to show the depth. Great job on the snail as well ! Feel free to give your opinion on my submissions 😃

This is my second pear after I watched the demo and the critique videos! The values were easier now that I used two different pens (I think it was HB and 2B)

Wow, great shapes and super clean tones! It would take me forever to get it that clean. Great job!
Helen Cade
Completed before watching demo- took me ages!! 🥴

Wow, I love your clean edges and how you can easily see the values! I think you have done a really good job with simplifying this portrait

on my first attempt I definitely felt like using the stump, and even though I was still happy with it I had already set up the goal of doing one after the demo and it definitely felt like I was noticing new things. specially transition in values and the difficulty of focusing on shape language rather than line language. Any critique is welcome :)

I really like that the edges of the pear itself are sharp, but I think you could have the sharpness with the edges of the different values, so you can differentiate between the 5 values, otherwise I think you have done it really well!

A bit late, but better late than never! This is my first pear before watching the demo. I think I chose paper that was way too soft for graphite pencils, so I had a bit of a problem with differentiating the values on my paper.

Looks really close to the final!
Milton Monroe
Those are some clean lines and values! Looks sick

Some quick dino sketches! Trying to get comfortable with the supplies I bought.

I have a handmade sketchbook with a few pages left blank. Here is my doodle for today. If you have time and patience, it is worth making such a sketchbook: You can open it perfectly flat, it has a minimal cost (if you don't use the most expensive paper), and you won't have a more personal one.

that looks beautiful! But I think, that if I make my own sketchbook, I would probably be too careful with it and try just to draw beautiful drawings in it haha

Jumping the gun. was an industry pro for a while then left to do something else…. Skills have atrophied….too much. Here is an attempt at the intermediate image… looking at it, it’s not much of a value study, more of a shaded drawing… Thoughts? hoping to get back into fighting trim. Looking forward to working with you all!

While I am in no position to give constructive feedback it looks really good to me! The proportions are just a little bit of but I really like it 😊
