Looking for suggestions on how this flows or could be improved, thank you!

I struggled under the pear where the shadow meets the pear in the darkest shade. Then, my background ruined my shadow 🤣 I feel like I learned a ton! I did pear #3 Thank you for any constructive feedback 😍

I need some feedback if possible. Thank you so much 😍 I know she has no hands 😉🤣

The struggle is real. Anyone else?

Quick question. I'm planning on mostly working with pencils, one large sketchbook for home and one smaller one for work/other places. However, I would also like to try using inking mediums as I have some microbon pens laying around my room. Should I get another book specifically for inking or is it okay to alternate mediums in one sketchbook?

He didn't have to come at me like that. Trying a not so Smeagol approach is proving somewhat helpful even if it goes against all that I am. 🤣

What are some GOOD charcoal brands? I used to love charcoal in high school and would like to try some.

I've been hoarding art supplies for years! Little did I know that I was preparing for this course 🤣 I feel that if you have the stuffs it should be used. I want to pass on my attempts at putting joy on paper rather than a bunch of unused supplies.

Feet are weird. Studies in brown ink.

Some tool scribbles and swatches. If there's one thing I wish I had known when I first picked up some pencils, it would be to swatch out your materials in the most efficient yet fun way possible. These references are invaluable to me. It's virtually impossible to get the outside color to directly match the medium's output.
