Hey! Great job taking this on! If you look at the drawing close up, I can actually see places where you had lines where you pressed down very hard. Based on your line quality, I think you may be hesitating on the lines and maybe pressing a little to hard to get dark lines. For the hesitation: This exercise is about finding the simple curves -- Stan always says that simplifying is harder than copying. You've found a lot of the curves, but the many small curves break up the flow of the leg. If you look at the demo, we're looking for "rhythms" or long lines that connect the subject together. When you do that kind of line, it will be a confident sweeping motion and you won't get the wobble that you've got in some of your lines. The important thing when doing those kinds of lines would be to prioritize confidence over accuracy. If you've got the confidence, but lack in the accuracy, you can do something that Stan mentions in some of his figure drawing videos: "ghost" the line (rehearse the line without actually drawing) and then make sure your hand is going slow enough for your brain to know where it wants to put the line. 90% of the line will be thinking of placement and 10% actually making the mark. For the dark lines: As you probably experienced when you were erasing the lines, drawing hard will actually distort the surface of the paper, changing the paper for good. If you're looking for darker lines, try using a softer pencil or varying your materials. Bonus - I would also watch the video on the "tapered line" which will also help getting the longer flowy lines.

Hey ! Good job with the simplification ! I think you could adjust the width/height ratio of the face, it looks a bit wide and not high enough to me

This looks great! I’m really impressed by the values. As a beginner it’s really helpful for me to see such clearly defined values. That’s something I’ll take with me into the next assignment.

Nice drawing bud, I wrote this whole big feedback thing before, but then I saw it contradicts what Stan goes on to say in the next video, so deleted it, my bad. The outline shape is excellent. I'm new myself, so, probably not the best to give feedback, but oh well. My only real feedback would be that your shadow shape, mostly that bottom curve, creeps a bit too high and a bit too fat. It sort of divides the drawing in two, whereas, at least to my eye, in the reference photo, 75% of the pear or so is light values, yours is a little closer to 50/50. Mind you, I feel I went too far the other way on mine, so what do I know haha. Nice work, looking forward to seeing your other submissions, keep it up.
