Could someone please provide me with some suggestions for this piece I am working on. I have spent more time on this drawing then I would like to admit. But I do not want to give up on the drawing just yet! Not sure if I have dirty lights, my tone groupings are off, or what? But any help would be appreciated!
Very rough gesture sketches... I hope the models do not hate for doing such a poor job! But I was trying to capture the essence of the moment and not make perfect sketches.

First time trying to shade in a figure drawing with pencil! It's way harder than it looks xD Would love any and all feedback!

Hey Emma, nice job for being your first time. I would recommend checking out the shading assignments here on Proko of shading an egg and a pear. You do not necessarily have to pay for the full course if you are a starving artist like most of us, lol! Try starting with a simple shape with a singular light source. I would give more advice, but I too am just now learning to add tone to my drawings. Hope this helps!

Had a difficult time with this sketch. Started out studying this sketch for it's tonal quality but quickly found out that the drawing did not follow strong light logic. So had to do a lot of erasing and guessing what I thought the light would do in this situation. Any help would be appreciated.

Had to revisit this assignment...

Just starting working on portraits to go with the human figure. Probably should have started with the head but later is better then never.

Side view completed, I'm still having a hard time with applying ellipses to the ribcage and pelvis, but other than that I'm slowly understanding the 5 step process from gesture to form. I'm just happy to even attempt this stuff.

Just curious why you decided to use cylinders instead of rectangles/boxes for the rib and pelvic section? Either way it looks good!

Tried this assignment with two different mediums (Charcoal & Graphite). Thought maybe I would branch out a little. Still think I need to work on gesture and finding the shapes within the figure. What do you guys think?

Might need to do this assignment again at a large scale to get a better feel for the human proportions. What do you think?

Actually enjoyed this assignment! It was a nice way to think about and grapple with perspective intuitively... Gonna continue studying form intersections as we go.

Hello Michael, looking forward to learning from you and growing as an artist. Please see below examples of some of my Work. And please let me know what you think about where I could improve. Also, I hope you don't mind but I kind of adlibbed a little with the shape selection.
