Asked for help
Hey everyone, I'm 38yo, I've got back to drawing 4 years agoand just finished 2nd year of artschool (I dared !) so I have some practice already. I felt I'm still lacking in fundamentals so here I am during my summer. I've written some comments on my drawings. The apple feels to dark compare to it's shadow. I've had some difficulties placing the first value below light to the actual highlight pops out. I found it hard to make sharp edges, hence simplifying the shape in a rough chiseled sculpture. That's why I'm here !

(Wow ! Watching the thumbnails makes my mistakes so obvious ! I keep being amazed by that even though my teachers have been saying this throughout the whole year)

This is my second attempt at simplifying the pear. I think it's an improvement from my first attempt but still not exactly sure what I should work on or focus on. I'm definitely someone that's starting at zero. All critiques and advice welcome and appreciated. Time to watch the demo! (Image 1: Second attempt - Image 2: Reference - Image 3: First attempt)
Hi Jonathan, I'm also starting the course but I've got practice behind me. Just compare the picture and your drawing while squinting your eyes. It will simplify the values and you can see on your second attempt for exemple that the shadow on the base is going to high. Squint your eyes regularly throughout your shading process.

Here are my first, second and third attempts! I'm having trouble shading consistent values, any help?
Hi Chirutan, I'm starting the course too. I hope it's ok if I dare give some advices.
I'd say on your 3rd work, in the middle of the pear you shaded a kinda shapeless area. For better result, take time to draw precisely the shape of the area you're going to shade.
For consistent values, you can practice to shade squares. Don't bore you out though ! 5 minutes as a warm up and let's go. It comes with years of practice anyway.
