So, is it cheating if you use a harder lead for the lighter lines? Tried it, wouldn’t recommend. It is kind of a pain to do. I guess, there is a reason for the method.

Did each pear and #2 came out looking the best. The line indicating the shape of my second darkest value is darker than the shading itself, it was difficult to avoid while also indicating that it was darker than the half tone. I still need a LOT of eye training to be able to confidently see simplified value changes, but I'm seeing improvement for sure :)

Pear 3 after watching demo. My shading improved a lot of watching stan and his method of laying down semi tones first and darker tones later. However, I think I did a much worse job breaking the shapes down themselves both with the pear and shadow shapes than on pear 1.

Wanted to challenge myself and so did level 2. This one was a blast to simplify, since faces are the main thing I love to draw. Think I got a bit better with value and pencil control here

Here is the pear! Had a lot of fun with this, realized my 3B and 6B have near identical values, so the type and pressure of mark you're making is nearly as important as the value of the pencil. I noticed on my second lightest value that the thin strokes really clash with each other, so I'm working on shading things more "uniformly" if that makes sense
