added comment inProject - Simplify from Observation
Asked for help
Here's my portrait, before watching the demo. It was hard to keep it simplified, the longer I looked at the reference image, the more levels of values I'd see and try to represent.
Still also struggling with the outlines of the areas of value, for instance the outline around the highlight on the nose stands out too much.
Any critiques welcome, thanks.

This is a really beautiful portrait. I love the expression. When you're choosing where to put your values, be careful of unintended effects such as the light value around the right eye, which makes the eye look like it's lifting off his face. You could simplify that area to the max by just removing that shape all together and making it a flat dark value, or you could bring that shape down in value to match more closely with the surrounding shadow values. Since we only get 5 values for this project to work with, I'm not sure how feasible the second option is but it could be interesting to try to solve that problem!

Here's my pear. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.
I struggled with separating the planes with the values, also when doing hard edges, the lines of the edges stand out too much.
