I used a HB woodless pencil for both drawings.
I didn't watched the demo or critic videos before doing the exercise.
I'm really happy with the result, since Im was off of drawing from past 5 months, I thought it would has been harder.
The points where I could improve are :
1. Avoid perfectionism since I redo a lot of lines for cleaness;
2. I used construction lines near the end of my drawings everytime I spotted big differences with the references, I should start by that first;
3. Take more time to watch and process the whole reference before putting the pencil down to avoid tunnel vision.
I bought the red pencil you suggested that Disney animators use. I really enjoy using them.

Awesome ! By the way, could you please give me the reference of this pencil ? I don't find the suggestion.

I did my best to simply it as much as I could and It gave me mad anxiety but I pulled through xD. Please critiques are more than welcome, I am here to learn so be mean.
Edit: I forgot that shadow and I am sad but I have done tones of those and will be sure to do it next time ;-;

In itself, its not a bad thing i guess but the brush is too different between the "Light Form Shadow" and the rest of the pear. Make it uniform so that it looks harmonious. Plus, your "Reflected Ligth" and "Core Shadow" have the same value. Make the "Reflected Light" lighter. Apart form that, it is a good pear in general, i like the shape and you well captured the top one.

Hi! I just draw this. I would appreciate some feedback

The bottom of ur drawing is a little bit off at the left corner. Try to align it with the bottom right corner. Plus, the width at the bottom is slightly little compared to the top one (it make kind of a V or W shape form). Your one is more cylindrical (same width at top and bottom). Plus, the top of the bell pepper (reference) is aligned with the stem. For yours: the top of the bell pepper is a little higher than the stem. Finally, the shadow on the front of the bell pepper is not uniform: some parts are lighter than others. I suggest you make these parts darker to make it uniform. Apart from that, your drawing is good: I like the general shape and the cast shadow.

I’m going to continue to practice this one over the weekend. Feedback is welcome.

First thing first, your "reflected light" have approximately the same value as your "light form shadow". Try to push the "reflected light" in a sligthly darker tone. Plus, your shadow is a little too low compared to the source of light. I suggest you to push it higher (approximately at the base of the pear).

This is surely more difficult than it looks. But hopefully it will help a lot. I even discovered that I like 4H a lot cuz I have more sense of control.
Also a question: do you guys do this shading practice by drawing actual lines one by one, or draw them in a connected zig-zag form?
1yr
If you mean by "zig-zag form" drawing line back and forth without lifting the pencil from the paper, then yes i personnaly do. Otherwise it will take too much time.

Hi, here is my portrait drawing of our Asian dude. I only used one red pencil, so the shadows are hard edged. My camera is bad at capturing line details. Any feedback is welcome ^^

I still find it confusion where to post what....here or under the specific lesson video.

I tend to think: if you are late, post under the last video since it is where you can get most critics and feedback
Practicing some more... Drawing of a manga character (From Reference)
I've had this spiral sketchbook since 2015 and only used it twice as I didn't particularly like the paper then. However, for this course it's perfect! I wanted to try different pencils on the paper to see what works and what didn't. Of course, I didn't throw my whole arsenal at it, but enough to give me more of an idea. I rarely, if ever, use charcoal...so 1/4 way through his fur I started using a woodless charcoal pencil. I hate that graphite and charcoal are not friends. :( I gave myself an hour to complete this drawing so I wouldn't try and be perfect and just be looser about it. I didn't get to finish it, but that's ok. :)
At 430am this morning I decided to draw something from my desk and since I love penguins and I picked up this adorable fuzzy pen penguin, I thought why not? Charcoal pencil actually worked great on this paper which was quite surprising. I even used a little of the Mars Lumograph black on the fuzzy hair...haven't got to experiment with them a whole lot as they are supposed to reduce graphite shine. Like a cross between charcoal and graphite. I may experiment with that next.
My apologies for being wordy this morning. Ha Have a great creative weekend everyone!

Here is my pear. Better late than never ! Any critics his welcome ^^ (P.S. : sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, my stuff is really bad. I tried to edit them as much as i could even if i'm still not satisfied. So i put all versions at least).

Thankfully i succeed to buy my first sketchbook right before the store close, out of breath. But now i'm ready at 100% :D
Because I was studying on my own before， I'm so glad to learn the correct way to draw in this class. btw, I like Canson paper a lot, but Canson is expensive， I use other cheaper paper for daily practice。
The learning of watercolor has just begun， keep on drawing。
