Hello, here is my assignment, Im pretty pleased with the penguin however I'm a little confused on how detailed we are supposed to be getting with these? Is the idea to just get the gesture down with some light details or are we trying to nail the entire image?

My attempt on simplifying the camel. Looking forward to the demo to see how Stan approaches it.

Here is my first go at the assignment, am I on the right track with these? Am I supposed to just get the overall idea of the image or am I trying to nail the subject?

One thing you could try with your current pencil is using the side of the lead in an overhand grip to shade instead of the tip of the pencil in a tripod grip. Overhand shading makes more contact with the paper and creates more even patches of tone than you can get with just the tip of the pencil. When you use the sharpened tip you tend to get many parallel lines rather than an even patch of tone which can throw off your value ranges. Practice filling basic shapes like squares, circles, and triangles with even tone, and work to fill each shape all the way to the edges. This will give a more fully defined structure to the shapes, and your values and shapes will read more clearly. Also try using a softer lead like a 2B pencil. This will give you a wider range of value based on how much pressure you use, and how many layers of tone you add. Keep it up!
