added comment inProject - Organizing Line Weight
Asked for help
Hey guys, I'm posting again just to see if this is of any help for the level 2 task. After I thought my linework was finished I left it alone for a day. When I got back to see it again I was instinctively making corrections, and imagining how the light would work in a photo and I believe I'm getting more of the desired effect.
So try leaving your line work alone for some hours and see if your instinct tells you to make some corrections to it.

Level 2 light exercise. I've used what I know about basic geometry and photography. I put the light in a weird place on purpose, but then I realized that decision made it hard to know if I achieved the effect.

Level one and two rhino assignments. I really love this lesson so far! I ve been always afraid of lineweight and never quite understood how to use it in any drawings, but now it was finally explained to me. Really keen on doing drawings from life using lineweight! PS: keep up the effort everybody! :)
This are looking great. If I understand your hierarchy correctly I think you need to put more weight on the tip of the horn. For the second example I'd take into account the backlight in the rhino's contour and the bounce light that the feet would receive from the grass.
I don't know if you've made other light example from observation, but it helped me to consider those details.
You've clearly wanted to highlight the contour of the rhino. That's OK, but it would be more interesting if you put more thought about what you consider important about the animal. Is it the horn, the weight, the strong legs, the ears, the eyes? Think about what do you want for other people to see. Cheers.

Hierarchy (left) and Shadows (right). The Shadows method is what I'm most used to, but none of my prior work I've managed to get happy with the result (usually the thick lines are too thick, the thin lines too thin and nothing in between the two). Using the pencil as it wears out and learning about value before this really helped me out.
I'm open to any criticism

Level 2 assignment. Captain skull and camel. I struggled with the camel, and wasn`t quite sure how to simplify the captains neck....
Ok, so before I even saw the demo video I made my first attempt. I’ve started with a (admitetly not so quick) sketch in Procreate. I used it as a reference for the shading of the pencil drawing. Right at the middle of the process I’ve noticed my proportions were all wrong, and the second image is the result of that after shading.
The third drawing I made it after watching the demo video (which surprised me that Stan also did but much much faster and simpler), and took some of his solutions: I stoped looking at my sketch for reference and used more of the photo, I took much more time getting my proportions accurately, I corrected as I was drawing, and tried to make the difference of values much more noticeable.
After seeing the progress made between the two, the improvement feels so good 😌

The one on the right is the after the video, I think is a vast improvement over all but I feel like a lost a little something on the way. Maybe the darkest darks from the first one? idk
I would definitely agree that it looks like the darker shades are missing, but that's just from me judging a photo and not in person. For example, we lose the edges of the bottom of the pear in the second version. But I also feel like you were more geometric in your first sketch. Almost all polygons, which I really like. They're both good and I can see improvements being made. I think your gut is right on noticing the details, but I wouldn't diss your first attempt by saying it's a vast improvement. They both look like great experiments.
