I tried drawing a banana with a ballpoint pen. It was kinda hard to seperate the volumes but i enjoyed the challange. Especially after I tried the portrait on which I failed miserably.

The propotions arent perfekt, but im quite happy with the end result. Obviously, there is a lot of room to improve especially on the values. But im here to improve. :D

Hi everyone. At the moment I’m learning to draw the head. I just started with the features, and also I’m practice shading. I always start by trying to establish the perspective with simple blocky forms. Then i try to add some anatomy, but thats kinda hard because of al the different kind of noses. If somebody has some tips on how to do it better, I would be very thankfull.

@Sandro Liechti If you just started drawing, I think you can either ignore the connections for now since the connections are where the complicated anatomy tends to be OR you can try to simplify the connections. For example in the first image the arm is floating. There is no connection at the shoulder. Also the rib cage and hips are not connected. Just two floating boxes. Their position is very important though because that defines the pose. The viewer can almost imagine the connection between them. In the second image I do include a connection at the should but it's a very simple elongated ball.
