Paint, sketch, carve, sculpt, or glue a bunch of recycling together and call it a diorama...I don't care so long as I can art.

Well...It took way more than 14 days, but I did 14 sketches from around the house. Meh
@jkovalchek
After watching this, I went back and added the laces to my boots (I think I'd oversimplified by leaving those out) and then tried a couple more.

That was fun and remarkably difficult
@jkovalchek
Looking at everyone else's I think I may have oversimplified. That being said I did each one digitally and then with graphite on paper
Rosanne Borst
I think simplification is pretty hard so the more simple it looks the more skills it takes maybe :)

Here are my lvl 2 drawings. any thoughts?
@jkovalchek
I like what the blocky angles did to the portrait subject you chose. The only critique I have of it is that you could push the value on the shadow side of his face one step darker (this opinion might be wrong if your camera didn't accurately capture the value of the drawing. )

i found this image and thought it would make a great reference for this project. I had a really hard time mapping out the proper proportions and then I started getting lost when trying to create 5 clear values. I’m proud of myself for finishing but I very clearly struggled
@jkovalchek
I like it! I understand what you're saying about the difficulty and getting lost, but it looks good. I think you were successful. I'm glad you finished it.

Here’s my second attempt after watching the demo by stan .. p.s i prefered not to draw in the eyes just gave a hint of the right eye
@jkovalchek
I like it. What made you choose to not put in the eyes?
@jkovalchek
Having done this a couple of times in graphite, I wanted to try it digitally. I'm glad I did. Having a pre-determined value scale to work from forced me to commit to the value. With the graphite, I was trying for only 4 values, but I think I made many more.

Did the project with all of the images in the downloads. Had a lot of fun with the pears. I really liked my portrait but once I started adding values I really started to struggle with the simplification of it. Still happy with how it all came out
@jkovalchek
Good work on the pears and I like you're portrait, too, it has an atmosphere to it, this is the first one I've seen that I've wondered about his story.

Interesting. You definitely represented the planes. ;)
