First time posting here and while I was happy with how the pear turned out for the Level 1 project, I feel like the Level 2 portrait would be better. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

Great job!
For level 2 , prominent boundaries b/w different value cells will help you to analyze and organize values better. I see near the neck region, near jawline and right collar ( in image) it's not prominent. Gradient is there.

I tried to avoid as drawing many flat surfaces to things which has volumes, as possible, to give the drawing more depth, keeping in mind @Martha Muniz 's feedback.
Also I tried to use line weight as a tool to divide my drawing into 3 image planes for added depth.
Finally tried to render this Akira Fanart a little for fun. Hope that doesn't violate the guidelines mention.
Your feedbacks and critiques are highly appreciated. Feel free to share your views.

Level 1
Hand Mannequins
Surprising the 1st drawing went off better in terms of proportions and overall gesture. But other two didn't go so well.
Please provide any critique or feedback as how can i improve in this aspect. Your feedbacks are valuable to me.

Hello @Art Stark !
Firstly I want to tell I really like short notes you always write in your sketches. The boogie woogie one inspired me. :)
Now coming to the feedback...
1. You're trying to work with simple shapes and that's smart but the shapes are lacking perspective and intersection solidity in some cases. Eg. The face in the middle.
2. For the Mignola study, I should not comment on the shading because it's basic drawing course but anyway.. Again focus on simple shapes and defining forms correctly will help you to invent shadows with better believability. I could see you didn't put form light on thigh portion but it should've been there bcz both legs can't be in cast shadow of the jacket. As he's walking. So don't shy out.. Experiment more with forms and most importantly have fun with pencil!!

As promised, here is my second attempt at 1-point perspective room but build from imagination this time.
Completely done free hand without using ruler.
To suggest the horizon.. There's a line suggestion outdoor.
Critiques are highly welcomed.

This is my first attempt at 1 point perspective. I was standing in a queue at hospital. Tried to do a rough sketch from the real life.
I hope this doesn't come under the rule of copying from a photo. But next time I'd try to be brave enough to build a simple 1 point room from imagination.
Critiques are highly appreciated.

Great take on it @Art Stark , with all the variations here. About the line weight decision, are you trying to focus on shape outline here?

This exercise seems really good for challenging your brain to wrap something into a box and establish its vanishing points.
I have spent time learning Asaro head and Loomis method so I thought that this exercise will be easy. Just take what I know and put a box around it and done. But it is surprisingly hard.
I keep on redrawing the box after drawing the head to fix it. This means that my initial guess for the box and its vanishing points was incorrect.
So this is a GOOD exercise as I found something that requires more practise. I considered that I had mastered the box and vanishing points, but I clearly can't wrap objects I see into a box correctly from my imagination. Easy to do it digitally, but not in my head.

@Martin M
In the last one, if the line near jawline would have follow along, it would have been really great.

Line Master Studies: Andrew Loomis
I'm giving my two character designs here - CAPY-B ( for Capybara) and FOXY ( for the fox).
Pardon my shading in the fox ideation process. But in the final design I kept
I try to incorporate Big-Medium-Small design principle too! And ofc drew a mini CSI before proceed with each design.
Feedback and critiques are most welcome ! Please help me to improve.
And Merry Christmas to all!

Line Master Studies
Study of Andrew Loomis
As I was studying these two poses - one from reclining figure section and the other from foreshortening section - I noticed the readings - that his line works tries to tell about "light" information heavily.
I love his classic style and will do more study of his outstanding works once I dive into figure drawing fundamentals.
And yes saying it again.. Feedbacks and critiques are highly welcomed. Please feel free to drop by ! ;)

Study of Oleg Yurkov.
This one was quicker than the previous ones. I tried to stick to the spirit by keeping the construction lines and trying to use the same movements as I believe he did. But some of these eclipses seemed to have been made in one stroke I had to split mines.
I should have put more curvature in the body but overall I am Ok with the result.
4 studies down, 2 more to go. I will keep Jeff Watts for the end as I have the feeling it will be the most challenging one.
As usual, comments and feedback welcome.

@Pierre Gds you've figured out most of it by yourself. But I'd like to suggest one more point ie. try to be a little loose and confident with your line strokes. Then they'll be tapered and add some some more fluidity to it. :))
Hi everyone !!
These are my attempts.
Any critiques would be highly appreciated !

This is my attempt on simplifying camel and skull using CSI lines.
Critiques and feedbacks are highly appreciated !!!! 🙏🤍
Second attempt at simplifying portrait from observation. Welcoming critiques.

The portion on the top of head, at hair middle parting, shapes could have simplified more I feel! :)

Had another go at the level 2 exercise while watching the demonstration, I think this is an improvement on the first one I did, any feedback appreciated. 😀
