Apologies to David Mallan for butchering his drawing... Although human face is way beyond my current level, I chose this picture as I'd like to learn drawing portraits eventually - and this one is very similar to a child I'd like to draw most. I know my proportions are completely wrong, but hope lines are getting better.

I enjoyed this assignment a lot. I would like to ask if drawings make sense - the drawings should be in this order:
- depth approach
- shadow and light
- hierarchy of importance

Drawing all three again, I am Very happy with the girl, but still struggling with hand - I think I might have been too flowy. Penguin 🐧 - I cant get proportions right, I slimmed it down, but it has now too large head?

Five to mushroom 😂🍄 I did not rotate paper when I was drawing them, bottom ones were challenging.

I have a question please - does a core shadow always appear between darks And light? Would it always be darkest dark? How do you decide which type of shadow is darkest if they 'look' different intensity in different parts of the object?
Q: I have a question please - does a core shadow always appear between darks And light?
A: Yes, it always does. I attached one of Stan's demo on anatomy that also shows the core shadow as an example.
Q: Would it always be darkest dark?
A: Bingo, always the darkest dark. If you have a strong casting shadow it will be the same value.
Q: How do you decide which type of shadow is darkest if they 'look' different intensity in different parts of the object?
A: I can only give you the tips I follow, they may not be the best for you, but try them out:
First I start with some kind of dark shadow, but I am not trying for it be as dark as I can possibly get. Just get one of your soft pencils and draw some shadow. After that I will try drawing some lighter shadows, and if at this stage this lighter shadow looks a little bit similar to my shadow - I go back to my first shadow and make it darker. I repeat that analysis every time I am drawing any value of a shadow or light. I look if any of those are similar and just go back to either of them.
One of the best advices I can give you is to stand back from your drawing from time to time. When we focus on details we often forget how the overall picture looks like. This helps a lot! Just lean back, look at it as an overall picture and then you will catch any areas you can improve.
I hope I helped clear out confusion for you. Happy drawing!

Another set of pears after watching critiques. Original post from Pinterest (https://pin.it/6Bv54nU)
Ronka, I like the way you're designing your shapes. Your use of tone looks good too.

I am still not happy with shadow area, but if I darken them even more, I will end up with same dark as core shadow. Any suggestions please?
I did the same thing 💀
I think I personally laid heavy into the shading off the bat. Maybe, you did too? I’m about to try again and start lighter
